As the width of the containing element decreases, table width minimally conforms with respect to the cell contents.�

This is problematic on many sites, even drupal.org (http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference.html/6 hangs over the right column, for example)

Consider using a different theme with a fluid width to better support this content, decrease table font size/margins/padding, or revise table content.

I haven't had the time to dig in to see how they did it, but the way that Lullabot does their code blocks on their redesign is both cool and functional. �For an example, check out�http://www.lullabot.com/articles/querying-slave-database-with-views�and mouseover the code snippet that is wider than the content column.�

It's a bit of apples to oranges (table vs code tags), but depending on the content within the table it might be a possible solution.
