I have a table that is made up of about 10 columns of data that is being fed from a database.

The table's overall width needs to stay fixed and it does except when a long URL is dropped in the cell.

Is there anyway to force the URL to be broken onto multiple lines rather than making my table extend past its defined width?

Many thanks in advance.

You can look into the overflow CSS property to try to work with it.

You can use whatever script that is pulling it from the database to abbreviate it too.
