This has been one of the most frequent requests/challenges posed to me: how do I keep images from overflowing? Anyone with html enabled in comments has probably wondered this at one time or another after having a "friend" post a wallpaper-size image in their comments. Myspace of course gives you the option of disabling html in comments (if you can find it -- good luck!)

I figured there was a way. I also figured it would take a lot of research into the arcane details of css settings to find it. I was right on both counts. When I saw the new selectors added by myspace, I figured I'd address this nagging issue as part of my 1.3 stylesheet.

Well, I thought I was ready, so I put out a request for large comments. Holly kindly answered my call. And promptly burst my bubble by totally hosing my profile.

An hour of Googling finally led me to the answer -- deep in the fine print of the w3c document on tables itself. The secret: an obscure little setting I'd never before heard of called table-layout.

Anyway, if you want to re-enable html on your comments and not have to worry about photos of your friend's pimped-out rice rocket busting your profile, try this:
