Text in cell not-conforming to cell size...

[The Colorado Kid]

Ok, I've never seen this before, but for some reason I had a piece of continuous
text as such (including quotes): 'text''text''text''text''text''text' and
this, for some reason, was being displayed as a single line within the browser.

This text was inside a td of a properly formed table and the width of the
cell was set explicitly, however the text forced the cell to be width of
the text itself. It displayed this was in both Firefox and IE.

This probably isn't an ASP.Net question as rather a browser processing question.
I've been developing for almost a decade now and this makes no sense to me.
Any ideas?

AFAIK this is expected. The text is supposed to be wrapped at the first
space so if the text doesn't contain any space it can't be wrapped...

Not sure what are those those quotes but if this is to separate text entry I
would use text, text, text, text instead so that it can wrap...

Thanks, any way to force wrapping regardless of spacing? This was pure user
entered data.
