iGuest 3 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 I solved it this way using divsWord Wrap Text In Div.Hi, I had the same problem. I used php wordwrap() fucntion to plain text which worked just fine. But only until I had to convert my plain text fields to html fields. So, what I did was eliminated all fancy php functions and wrap my test displaying area on my page with a <div style="width:400px; white-space:normal"> [text display area]</div>. Thats it. It worked just fine. -reply by Sanjaya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 white-space:normal; WORKED! I had the same issue in Firefox 3.5.6, where text would not wrap inside a <div> tag. I even had "overflow: auto;" set. That only worked in IE7. <div style='white-space: normal;'> did the trick. Thanks a bunch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted April 22, 2010 This is a no-brainer, hereWord Wrap Text In Div.Hell yeah, that is a big one. See, when a word is too long, like bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.. (and on and on) it WILL get ugly and stretch to the right. But here's the solution: just put { word-wrap: break-word } in your CSS! and it works ok.-reply by Constantine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 24, 2011 i have table rows dynamically added..the text in the table cell comes from a xml file and due to the length of the text (its a URL) it stretches the width of the cell and spoils the display. I tried defining the cell style in css with the white-space:normal as previously said by someone. But it does not work here Can anyone help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted October 11, 2011 I think all that is necessary is.. text-align:justify; or wrap paragraph tags around the text Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
