Hi all-
A strange theoretical question in HTML/ASP-land...
Can you somehow, through scripting, indicate when a table cell has
reached a maximum width?  For example, you are filling up a table
cell with some database results that are long and just want to give
your viewers a teaser.  Once you reach the maximum width, you'd want
to cut off listing the results and have a link like "See more
results."
Is this possible?  If so, any ideas on how to approach this are of
course welcome :)
TIA-

Oh, and here's a tip to make up for the last time/for the
future/because I actually have one!

<tip>
When working with an Access database and ASP, using Response.Write in
a table cell, watch out for the <PRE> tag.  Your data won't wrap
nicely in the cell; instead, it will print out on one line as <PRE>
tells the browser to print exactly as formatted.
</tip>
