I want to display a string in a table but when a word in the string is
longer then 40 letters it won't wrap. Does anyone know how I can fix this ?
Thanx

where would you expect it to wrap? if it's a single, uninterrupted, string
of characters the browser has no idea where to break it, besides it's not
right to break it most likely. You'll have to build a custom string reader
to insert a "<br>" or linebreak (if displayed in a textbox, etc).

What kind of word is longer than 40 letters? Where would it make sense to
break up such a word? Exactly in half, after 20 characters, after 32
characters, 5 characters from the end, ...?

It's in a sort of message board so I cant realy controle what will be
displayed in the table.
I have to make shure that if someone has put in such long words my table
will still be displayed as it should.
Therefor I'm looking for an ASP-code that places an "<BR>" into my string if
there are words longer than 40 letters in it. It doesn't realy matter to me
where the words are broken as long as they are.

I would do something like this when you STORE the data (then you don't have
to do it every time you display it).
data = request.form("data")
datas = split(data, " ")
for i = 0 to ubound(datas)
if len(datas(i))>40 then
tmp = ""
for i = 1 to len(datas(i)) step 40
tmp = tmp & "<br>" & mid(str, i, 40)
next
datas(i) = tmp
end if
next
data = join(datas, " ")
' now replace single apostrophes with two, insert into db, etc.

OOPS! Change str to datas(i) here.

Something Like:
NewString = ""
StringLength = Len(WordString)
For i = 1 to (StringLength/40)
NewString = NewString & Left(WordString,40) & "<br>" & VbCrLf
StringLength = StringLength - 40
WordString = Right(WordString,StringLength)
Next
Response.Write NewString
Note, this isn't tested and it only breaks the string into 40
character lines, doesn't break on words or spaces.
But there's probably a WordWrap function floating around that
someone's already written. Hang on...
Yep. Google finds your answer:

this simple j(ava)script script breaks all words
longer than 40 chars long into 40 char parts
ended by a - and a space:
t = t.replace(/(\S{40})/g,"$1- ")
======================
same in vbscript [longer]:
Set regEx = New RegExp
regEx.Pattern = "(\S{40})"
regEx.Global = True
t = regEx.Replace(t, "$1- ")
