My page is at http://www.shopburbank.org/merchantList.php The website column is too wide and I cannot figure out what the problem is. The mysql field is define as varchar 255 and I have gone thru every entry to make sure there are no spaces after the website. Fields that are not populated are Null.

Thank you

Do you really want to give people the ability to edit your data? By supplying this link, I could easily click on "Edit" link and edit your data. And now that I know the link, I can copy it and go to the link so you might want to change the detail page name too.

If you don't want people editing this data, you should probably pull that link off the page until you can secure it.

Do you control the table using css. You may be doing that but it looks like the page is larger than the actual size of the window when I view it so something tells me that you might have an issue with that. Because of this, each column is expanding to fit the widht of the page. It doesn't look like it's in the data.
