text ad does not fit in box March 27, 2002 12:01 AM Subscribe
Is anyone else seeing problems with links on some text ads being a bit too long to fit the box? Screenshot is from MSIE 5.1.3 on Mac OS X.
yes! (my old screenshot is gone, but it looked much like yours)

I just guessed on the maximum number of characters to allow in ads, not knowing that people would submit ads without spaces in them. I need to set a maximum number of letters in a row, and spit out errors to people that mess those up.
You should see some of the ads I deny, they often have all caps, and try to cram a sentence into the link, without spaces, knowing that people will visually notice it more.

Wouldn't it work if you set overflow and clipping on the box?
