HTML tables: horizontal scroll in a td only when needed

user523129

I have a table with the following:

<table  cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" > 
<tr>
<td>Contact: </td>
<td width="100px"><div style="overflow-x:scroll; width:100px">ee@yahoo.com</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

This code shows an horizontal scroll in the email cell.

When the email is a short one like ee@yahoo.com the scroll shows but it is not enabled as it is not needed, and when the email is longer let’s say

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee@yahoo.com

the scroll enables so you can see the entire email.

This is good, but what I need is the scroll not to show at all when the email is a short one.

How can I do that??

I’ve tried:

overflow-x:auto;

And it does not show the scroll when a short email but when the email is a long one it just cut it no scroll at all. I think this happens because there are no spaces in the email.

Thanks a lot!
