I am trying to import some HTML detailed descriptions. The problem is that the height of the table they are within, stretches and makes the descriptions frustratingly long and the formatting is skewed slightly forcing some of the lines to drop to the next line prematurely. Here's a good example. Any ideas how to correct this so they show up as they are designed?

Thanks.

It might help if we saw what you are wanting it to look like. From what I can see you have a lot of returns where you probably don't want returns. You cut up the paragraph using hard breaks. Since your table is set to 100% you should not use hard returns to break up a paragraph, let it word wrap.

Also, if you hold the shift key when you hit return to make another bullet it will only move down one line, not a double line.

Hope this helps

OK... call me crazy. I cut and paste the HTML into the product editor window and get the previously described results. Tonight I do an export of my product, cut and paste the code into the 'LongDesc' cell in Excel, import and bam! It's fine.

I don't get it.

Rather than setting your table to 100%, set it to say 500 or 600 and do not place the % sign at the end of the number.
As an example: <table width="600"><tr> Rather than <table width="100%"><tr>

I think that is what you are trying to accomplish.

I found that setting all my tables to 100% vs a set size works better for us since it allows it to resize appropriately. A table width of 600 will cause havoc on small monitors

It would be best to keep your tables set to 100% to ensure that the text wrapping and other anomolies do not represent themselves to users on other browser settings. 100% ensures that the table will fill out the entire green area of your site no matter what the settings.

To make formatting easier, you can try using bulleted lists for your descriptions. This will allow the words to wrap under each bolded item, instead of wrapping in an ugly way.

Experiment with the HTML editor of your choice to achieve a better looking table layout.

Good luck!
