DataList Indentation

[SJ]

I'm using codebehind to populate my datalist, but having a lot of trouble
keeping the
indentation of the datalist in place. This is what i'm doing right now :

<asp:datalist id="LogList" Runat="server" width=150 Itemstyle-wrap=true>
<ItemTemplate>
<table cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="150" border="0"
class="bodytext">
<tr>
<td width="40">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="40" align="left">
<asp:checkbox id="chkbox" Runat="server"
Checked="False"></asp:checkbox></td>
<td align="left" width="30">
<asp:label id="VIP" Runat="server"
Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"isVIP")%>'>
</asp:label></td>
<td align="left" width="40">
<asp:HyperLink ID="isVM" Runat=server
ImageUrl='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"isVM")%>'
NavigateUrl='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"vmURL")%>'>
</asp:HyperLink>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:datalist>

If I exceed the assigned width(40 in this case) of a column, instead of the
text wrapping to the next line,
the indentation goes totally crazy.

thanks,

SJ,

Which column is causing the problem? It doesn't look like you're placing any
text in your checkbox and the only other column that is set to a width of 40
has an image in it not text.

An image will push out table boundries because it can't be wrapped...

Is that the column causing the trouble?

Also adding to Justin's advice..
Set border="1"
That would also help you to see what you are doing wrong.
