Re: When would text exceed boundaries

[Colic]

You’re absolutely spot on thanks :-).

I did look at table-layout, but I must have applied it incorrectly amongst my other efforts. I was somewhat focussed on text wrapping and truncation rather than the actual table parameters.

And with Google being my friend, as it is when you already know what you’re looking for, I now understand why my table (-layout) was extending past its definition despite my attempts with ellipsis and word wrap, since that is the default – the crucial point being I had a long string of unbroken text which would push the table out and stubbornly refuse to truncate or wrap it. It all works as desired now, thankyou :-)

Ah tables – Im using them only because I have to! The code is generated by a Joomla extension which I blame rather than myself for the use of tables here!

thanks (the time Ive now saved can perhaps be invested in investigating a codepen!)
