If you need help with web design then theres something wrong. web design is one of the easiest things to do, heres what you do, go download a free 30-day trial for Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, whatever year, preferably newest. Then you just crack it, not that hard and it makes web design unbelivably easier than it already is.

mrynit, I am aware of the way I'd solve the problem server-side. The reason I haven't so far is because of reluctance, not lack of means or knowledge.

(Toggle Plain Text)

START
avgSpc = 10

counter = 0
spcCount = 0

while(inChar != endOfString)
{
  
 if strIndex[counter] != ' ' //thats a space
      counter++
   else
       spcCount++
       counter++
}

if  spcCount >= avgSpc
  printOnSite

else
  regect string

END

turn that into what ever language you want for the server side

There's an essential fact here that is escaping attention. Controlling the width as a set number of pixels is (if you succeed) subverting the client's wishes in many cases. Clients use different screen resolutions, different window sizes within their resolution, and dink with other free choices such as text size and icon size. Even in a page with no real problems, using ems for MOST (not all) measurements is preferable. Using relative font-size changes is also almost always a Good Thang. My guess is you'll chase away fewer viewers with a messed up table (particularly if you constrain the damage on the server side) then you will by attempting to override their viewing preferences.
