Add Sucess.html Description won't wrap

On adding a link when I am taken to the add_sucess.html page the description is displayed as one long line. I looked at my links def file and it is set to 40x3. How can I get the description to wrap? also looked at the site_html_templates.pl file and couldn't find anything to change there either.

Here's what I use in my add_success.html template and it doesn't put the description all on one line (it word wraps it):

Code:
<b>We have received the following resource addition:</b> 
<p> 
<table cellpadding=2 border=1 valign="top" width="80%" bgcolor="#FFFFEC"> 
<tr><td align="right" valign="middle" bgcolor="#D5E8E8"> 
<b>Title:</b> 
</td><td> 
<%Title%> 
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="middle" bgcolor="#D5E8E8"> 
<b>URL:</b> 
</td><td> 
<%URL%> 
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="middle" bgcolor="#D5E8E8"> 
<b>Category:</b> 
</td><td> 
<%Category%> 
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="middle" bgcolor="#D5E8E8"> 
<b>Description:</b> 
</td><td> 
<%Description%> 
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="middle" nowrap bgcolor="#D5E8E8"> 
<b>Contact Name:</b> 
</td><td> 
<%Contact Name%> 
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="middle" nowrap bgcolor="#D5E8E8"> 
<b>Contact Email:</b> 
</td><td> 
<%Contact Email%> 
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="middle" nowrap bgcolor="#D5E8E8"> 
<b>Receive Email:</b> 
</td><td> 
<%ReceiveMail%> 
</td></tr></table>

I hope this helps.

Hi Bobsie,

Will this work through the emailed reply also editing add.cgi and modify.cgi modifying the email format to the links admin? I never did know how to send html format pages through email like Hypermart and other online advertisers...

Thanks in advance,
elms

Hi,
the reason it's displayed as on line is because of the <pre> tag what ever is in betweent those tags are printed as is. the e-mail won't have that problem because it wraps in the client automatically. Sending html newsletters is similar to making a html page. i distributed an html newsletter a while back and all i did was create the html page and then copy the code into the mailer and send it off.

bye for now.
