Table Cells

I have this simple table that drives me crazy. The row is a typical:

Quote:

<tr><td>(A fixed table with four rows and three columns that is always the same size)</td><td>Data Cell 2</td></tr>

(Edited forum tag and changed it from php to quote for better visibility) Normally this works great. Since the data in cell 2 is dynamic sometimes it contains data more than expected. Is there a way to have the data in cell 2 to wrap around the first cell? This way the second cell will have more room to hold the data.

Thanks,

Wrapping text in a cell

Perhaps you could put a div inside the cell and then use css to wrap the words. Sample:

html Code:

Original - html Code
<td><div STYLE="word-wrap: break-word">This is the text content of this div element</div></td>

<td><div STYLE="word-wrap: break-word">This is the text content of this div element</div></td>
