.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / June 2007how to wrap a long text through css.
Hi all i have a css question about how to wrap a long text by using css. for example I have a very long text like "ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd" there is not white space and line break inside the text. how can I wrap this text and make sure it can be used for most of the browser(IE, FF, sarafi). and another thing, I thought about using js to control the text length for each line. but in my website i need consider that user input perhaps is not english. if i use js, how to handle the situation use input japanese chinese etc. Cheers Victor Hi Victor, For making long text be wrapped, you can consider using the "word-wrap" attribute. here are some reference article introduct it: http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/properties/text/wordwrap.htm http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms531186.aspx Sincerely, Steven Cheng Microsoft MSDN Online Support Lead This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Hi Steven I have tried this attribute. but it seems this one only worked in IE not Firefox and safari. Is there anyway I can do this in those two browsers as well?

Hi Victor, Yes, the word-wrap is a IE specific one. So far firefox seems hasn't supported such a exact attribute for word/text wrap. Here is a web article mentioned a workaround on this: #FIREFOX / IE Word-Wrap, Word-Break, TABLES FIX http://petesbloggerama.blogspot.com/2007/02/firefox-ie-word-wrap-word-break- tables.html Sincerely, Steven Cheng Microsoft MSDN Online Support Lead This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Hi Steven: thanks for the reply. I tried to put the code into my page.. but seems it still doesnt work for FF? My code is <div style="width:130px"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:130px"> <tr> <td class="HardBreak" style="width:130px"> <%=Comment%> </td> </tr> </table> </div> the hardbreak class is the same as in the example. Do you have any idea why this happened? Thanks a lot Victor > Hi Victor, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no > rights. > Hi Steven: > thanks for the reply.
