Text Alignment

[GroundVibes]

Greetings all!

I have a question concerning the formatting of the text within my table.

So right now I am working on a website that has user input that is displayed on the main page.

So I defined my table with a width of "600px"...

If the user types his text normally like this "This is a sample..."
The text will automatically skip the line and it shall not exceed my 600px limit.

But the problem is that if a user types "Thisisasample..."
Which means the user typed a long line without any spaces, well the table exceeds the 600px limit and it just completely destroys my layout...

I tried applying "word-break: break-all;" to my css document but what happens is that
"This is a sample... " would display as
"This is a sam
ple..."

Which broke apart the word...

Is there a technique to prevent this or an actual justification of text alignment that will do so

Thx you advance!

I assume this is user-entered (or moron-entered) text that you save somewhere and later display ... if which case you can check the text before saving and issue an error message like "Thankyouforsubmittingyourinputwithoutanyspacesbutyouhavetotryagain"

You can split up long words with a regex:
[code]
<?php
$newstring = preg_replace( "/([^\n\r \.,]{10})/i" , '$1 ', $oldstring );
?>
[/code]

You can change the number 10 to allow different maximum length words.
