wrapping long lines (div tag)

[gomzi]

hi,
I have a div tag. Its width is 200px,

now, what happens is that when the text size is large, then the div expands, even though the size is set to 200px, so i would like to know whether there is technique for forcing the text to wrap at the edge of the div.

thanks,
gomzi.

Well, that shouldn't be happening and, as the stickies say, without the complete code or a link, we can't help you.

Here's the code,
<div class="divborder">
<table width="200px">
<tr>
<td>
toshiba_samsung_sony_microsoft_google_oracle@T.C
</td>
</tr>
</table
</div>

I am quite certain that its because of the kind of text that i am trying to display in the div.
i.e. one with no spaces.
so is there any way to wrap the lines in case it tries to exceed the boundary ?

Search for this on this forum. 'word-wrap' is an IE-only property but, iirc, is part of CSS3 and supported by Firefox and others. But double check on that and let us know. We had a recent post about it.
