Question

[Shaun13]

Ok, i checked out the wrapword function and it isn't what I am looking for because what I want to do is make it so the content of something a user submits, if it is too long, won't stretch out the table, it will make a break. I need this because quite obviously 100 "1"s will be much less width than 100 "W"s.

 

All-in-all, is there anyway to make a wordwrap if the word is longer than the table width?

That should be handled in the display, not the programming. When you construct your table give the table a fixed width (and give columns fixxed widths if you like). The data in the cells will wrap accordingly.

 

However, if you have a very long string without and spaces, commas, or other "break" characters the browser will not hbe able to determine where to wrap it at. In that situation, there is not solution that I know of for web technology. I could do it with PostScript, but that's not relevant here.

 

And there is a good reason for this. If you were to break a word int he middle it could create an entirely different meaning.

Ok, so how does a forum like this break this word:

 

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

 

EDIT: Lol, nvm.

LOL: If you have a more specific example of what you are trying to achieve I may be able to offer some help. I have spent a number of years working in areas that dealt with such issues.
