How to align text vertically in a table cell

Question

I would like the text to appear inline in my table cell. However, the text is coming in the single line whatever be the length of text. I used text_align and padding too, but it did not help.

CSS:

table td { display: table-cell; vertical-align: top; }

Wait, is that a HTML Table or a java JTable ? The java-Tag has me confused — Jannis Alexakis, Jul 19 '13 at 10:59
maybe think about word wrap? http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_word-wrap.asp — Danny., Jul 19 '13 at 11:02
In table if your text is of multiple words, then it will break automatically to multiple lines. But if it is of one word only, then it will not break to multiple lines. — Nitesh Mishra, Jul 19 '13 at 11:02

You can place your line inside ScrollBox and then place that ScrollBox inside the <td>ScrollBox goes here with content</td>.

ScrollBox will provide you the functionality to wrap as well as Scroll,if required.

You can search google for Creating a ScrollBox
