news:a0**************************@posting.google.c om... word wrapping normally treats some spaces as line feeds, if there
hasn't been a line feed for quite a while. so while a string with
eighty consecutive a's might not word wrap, a space placed squarely in
the middle of that string will sorta word wrap. so why doesn't it
seem to work with !'s? here's a page that demonstrates how !'s don't
seem to word wrap:

any help would be appreciated - thanks :)
Once I fought my way past GeoCities' attempt to run applications in my
browser and advertise to me, found that IE6 has a problem with your
exclamation points. Wrapping is correct in all other browsers I tried. So
it's an IE bug.
Wrapping is also incorrect in Opera 7.23.
i have the same problem in that same version of Opera (haven't
downloaded a newer version, yet). as such, i'm somewhat trepidatious
to place the blame soley on IE.
irregardless of the source of the problem, what can be done to fix it?
adding a <br> between every 80 or so !'s would fix it, but that would
also force word wrapping on browsers that don't need it (ie. ones
running at high resolutions).
apparently replacing even one of the !'s with an 'a' brings about word
wrapping, but adding two spaces instead of one seems to do nothing.
however, that said, the former isn't a very attractive solution. any
other ideas as to a solution to this problem?
