But when using this, the table will be stretched vertically too, and this is not what I want. I know, actually what I want is not a table, it is something like a profile in the form: Name : xyz Age : 201 City : aabbcc etc. Previously I did it with <PRE></PRE>, but I don't like the fixed font and thus tried out <TABLE></TABLE> with CELLPADDING, CELLSPACING and BORDER set to 0, but this resulted in 'sticky' columns ie, the result for the above table would be: Namexyz Age 201 Cityaabbcc Using 3 times after ALL of the fields in the first column would solve the problem (using the trick in only one cell wouldn't: It is a proportional font and I have now knowledge of which cell will be the widest) but is not very 'clean'. I do not like this solution. Thomas --
