hello
i have this code :

Code:

// keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get
echo "<table border='1'>";
echo "<tr> <th>Date</th> <th>Title</th><th>Area</th> </tr>";
$num = 0;
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) {
// Print out the contents of each row into a table
$key = 'unique_key_'.$num;
echo "<tr><td>"; 
echo '&nbsp'.$info['Submission_Date'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo '<a href="#" onclick="return doToggle(\''.$key.'\');">'.$info['posting_title'].'</a><br />';
echo '<div id="'.$key.'" style="display:none;">';
 
echo $info['posting_discription'];
 
 
echo "</div>";
echo "</td><td>";
echo '&nbsp'."(".$info['living_area'].")";
echo "</td></tr>"; 
$num++;
} 
echo "</table>";

and basicaly it works fine but i have one problem , when some one write a posting he doesnt have any limit of words and thats how i want it and in the database it stores however it is but when im asking for that information to appear buy a collapsin DIV with a link the posting apperas all over the screen instead of breaking with the table borders
begining:
date title
**** *******
after clicking the link :
date
****
title |table border
********
**************************************
instead of like i want:
date
*****
title |table border
*********
**************
************
**********
( the colums r under each other here cus i didnt have a way to show it differntly , buy they side by side "date title ")
thanks for any help

Just change

Code:

<div id="'.$key.'" style="display:none;">

to something like

Code:

<div id="'.$key.'" style="display:none; width: 300px">

If you set a width it will wrap the text
