I have a table with table-layout:fixed property with 5 headers <th>. How do I set the data cells <td> within each of the headers to have a maximum character allowed? I tried 'maxlength' but it didn't work.
I was going for the 2nd one, which is total characters allowed.
At the moment I got a fixed table-layout and applied this to the td: table td { background:#e8edff; border-bottom:1px solid #fff; border-left:1px solid #fff; color:#336699; border-top:1px solid transparent; padding:8px; text-overflow:ellipsis; overflow:hidden; white-space:nowrap; }
I think I gotta go with the php thing, a friend will help me with that.

Is there a property I'm missing out?
Thank you very much!

Or do you mean total allowed characters in a cell?
The first one can simply be done by setting a width on the cell.
td {width:200px;
}
The latter will need to be done with some sort of PHP I'd assume. Some sort of trim function.

padding:8px;
text-overflow:ellipsis;
overflow:hidden;
white-space:nowrap;
}
