Eww... please use the word "overflow," as that's the CSS term for it and way less gross than the word "squirt."

IE doesn't understand this, but IE expands to fit anyway (not sure about IE7, though, which still will not support the table display values). You can also simulate expanding to fit by messing with negative margins. I've written a few articles on this over at CMX: http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=B0029 Zoe -- Zoe M.
