Long URLs Break Layout
:Long URLs Break Layout
While setting up a site to display a news RSS feed and I found that Tables don’t handle extra long URLs very well. They stretch the TD cell and break your design. So much for doing markup with tables.
With your markup in CSS you can handle it a bit better.
Here is a long URL that overflows into the right column.

Here is the same long URL with “overflow: hidden;” applied to the link.
Even if you layout is using fixed width tables for markup this long URL would cause the TD cell to expand it and it would break your page.
