asp gridview - limiting cell width
I have a gridview that I'm trying to limit the width of a column. I'm using this code to set the width:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Note" >
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" width="100px" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("note") %>'></asp:Label>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" width="100px" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("note") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle Width="100px" Wrap="False" />
</asp:TemplateField>
The result is the cell is only 100px but the data is full length and extends into the adjoining column.
My goal is to only display a short amount of text and when the user clicks on the cell a popup window will open displaying the entire contents.
Any suggestions?

No. There is a lot of text that is in the column. I just want to display a small portion of it (controlled by the column width) and when the cell is clicked I want a popup window to display the entire contents.
