Form And Table In HTML

In general, entire form must be completely included into a single table cell (single TD element). For format purpose, one might put form head/declaration outside the table and input items spread over cells. Put entire form with in a table but spread over several rows (TR elements), it will fail.

In addition, if one uses DHTML, form outsider table may not work in some browser, such as IE.

Conclusion: Put entire form completely with in a single table cell will be the best practice.

Enforcing Width Of Cell <td> In HTML Table

It is hard to atomically break down long string such as URL to ensure the width in HTML. Here is a solution.

Within the cell or <td> section, cover your contents with a div section which shall include a width style property:

<div style="width:100px">

If that is not good enough, include this into your CSS:

word-wrap: break-word;

A Microsoft Usability Bug

in Excel, sometimes the function does not show the calculation result, instead it shows the formula itself. To correct it, one would need to go to Format Cells, change from Text datatype to numerical datatype, such as General.

Technically it is not a bug. In terms of usability, it is. This is because when you change from numerical datatype to text, the calculation still work, until you touched cell, the formula showed up. After that, you won't be able to figure out what went wrong.
