Oh really? Well, that is because it won't break the word for you. If you explicity state it's length (and restrict the use of <nobr>) then it will wrap on words. Eg.
<table width="2" border="2"> <tr><td>yeah I am dave and blah blah blah blah blha</td></tr></table>
which produces.
yeah I am dave and blah blah blah blah blha


$_.=($=+(6<<1));print(chr(my$a=$_));$^H=$_+$_;$_=$^H; print chr($_-39); # Easy but its ok.
