Have you tried adding any spaces between your testestestestestestest...

I dont know of any words that long lol

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is about the longest one i can remember...

[kfir91]

u dont understand

i have this

<td>

test test test test

test test test test

test test

</td>

the td width is 100px

and he write all the "test" in one line... why?

and i break line automatic without <br> or div width height etc...

 

white-space didnt help

display: block; didnt help

do you have the width set in your table or your div ??,

If they are not  fixed and there is room they tend to expand to fit it in

 

div {

margin-left: auto;

margin-right: auto;

width: 1024px;

}

Hi,

    Just insert a paragraph tag in your div like

<div style="width: 100px;">

<p>testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttest</p><p>testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttest</p>

</div>

and use display:block comment in CSS like this

p

{

  display:block;

}

You can also use h4 tag in place P tag

word-wrap: break-word;

 

but does not work in all browsers

 

Where is the data coming from? I presume you're trying to check unusual user input - you could do this server-side, for example in php you have the built-in wordwrap function.

I had this problem when I was coding my first website.

The solution was a code but I've forgotten it now and I cant access my backup files right now sorry just keep looking for codes/scripts.

Also if your using a database or mysql some ftp servers can limit the characters.
