I am making an HTML table. It has a lot of columns with fixed width
(55 pixels). If I view it on full-screen IE window, the table fits on
the screen and looks just as I want it to look. When I make the window
smaller than the table, I expect horizontal scroll bar to appear.
Instead each column shrinks; a cell which had:
word1 word2
word3
becomes:
word1
word2
word3
thus distorting the table and making it look ugly. Only when I make
the window so small that columns can not shrink any more (each is the
longest word wide), does horizontal scroll bar appear.
How can I avoid this -- keep the columns same width regardless of
window size? I already tried giving the table a fixed width -- it does
not solve the problem, if anything makes it worse.
