This is my code:

<table width="90%" border="10" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<pre>
        <?php echo"$notes_1";?>
</pre>
</td></tr></table>

$notes_1 is a longtext data type retrieved from MySQL database. It has some really long sentences without line breaks. When i am calling this variable inside above table i am getting a very long horizontal scroll in the browser. I want the whole formatted text to be inside the table of width 90% of browser. Please tell me how is it possible?

For starters do not use `pre` tags – dev-null-dweller Jul 17 '13 at 20:03
You can also style your pre with a max-width and set overflow:scroll – Orangepill Jul 17 '13 at 20:11
