Presenting database results in a repeater control

Hello all.

I have a bit of a problem.

I am using a repeater control to display the results of a database query. The problem is when outputing the results of a multiline nvarchar field.

I generally try put it in a <pre> tag and try to enforce the table width. However this doesn't help and the table width when viewing the page is the width of the page, and not the specified width.

ie

<table width=400>
<tr>
<td> <pre><%# container.dataitem("msgText") %></pre>
<td>
</tr>
</table>

can anyone help (sorry if I haven't explained myself well !!)

cheers

what are you using for your database? have you though about truncating the text, and having truncated text be a link that pops up the full text?
