I'd suggest using css max-width property to suggest a maximum width.

table {
max-width: 30em;
}

(btw, f'ups set to ciwas; your message doesn't need to be x-posted)

You can overide getPreferredSize() to
getMaximumSize() AFAIU, but it sounds
like a silly thing to do.

Perhaps if you describe the overrall effect
you want from your GUI, we can advise
the best way to achieve it.

D'Oh! Sorry, thought I was in a Java group
when I wrote my reply, my answer is not in
any way relevant to web page formatting.

No. What you can try is max-width with !important (and width). !important
nor width shouldn't be used carelesly, as people that do override width
and max-width are doing it on good reasons. (and there is not that many
people doing that anyway, even if I am)

The bigger problem is that IE don't understand max-width.
