word wrap and tables

[eipeks]

Ive been playing with tables and cannot seem to make the table stay at the width I set when I put content in there.

Is there a way to make my width a set amount, without the text stretching the table bigger than the % set?

sigh* does this make any sense?

Ok, here's what I mean...


<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" width="33%> blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</td>
<td width="67%"> balllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll </td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>sdfffffffffffffffsdfsdfsdfsdfsdf</td>
</tr>
</table>


When i do this, my table changes size to make room for the text. I want my table to stay the same size and wrap the letters to the next line, without having to break. Is there a way to do this?
