max-width in table td

Question

I would like to set the max-width of my table td.

<td class="showwindow description">
    <div style="width:275px; white-space:nowrap; word-wrap:break-word; font-size:11px;">3 DRESS COVER AY (AGAVE PINK) 3 DRESS COVER AY (AGAVE PINK) 3 DRESS COVER AY (AGAVE PINK)</div>
</td>

But the text can't back to the line :

Answer 1

Just remove "white-space:nowrap" property from the div and set max-width.

Answer 2

Just use this CSS code:

max-width:100px;

Answer 3

you might have given width, but you have to give height to both td and div so that if text exceeds , it should fallback to next line, just giving only width wont do much
