Break long text

[lawlegacy]

I have a column with a set width. Is there a way to break a long text to prevent formatting issues?

For instance "

http://WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"

will cause the column to increase its width and formatting is lost.

You could add [tt]overflow: hidden;[/tt] and the text would simply be cropped. You could add [tt]overflow: auto;[/tt] and your column would get a scrollbar when such a work would get entered. If you worry only about IE, you could add [tt]word-wrap: break-word;[/tt] to make browser insert arbitrary break in the word to preserve the table layout.
