break or wrap words problem with HTML Div element

[johnjsforum]

Buddies,
I have an asp.net page on which I use an HTML Div element to hold text words. The Div is has style attribute like
style="overflow:auto; border: solid 1px #000000; width:350px; height:100px; word-break:break-all;"

The "word-break" style just works with IE not FireFox because it is not a standard one. However, that style does not bring my page word breaks as I expect. The problem is seen as follows for words in the Div:

He was planned long in advance and that he would talk wi
th coal mine leaders about their disputed retirement progr
am, although he stressed the original purpose of the tr
ip was to discuss issues affecting states bordering on th
e Atlantic.

Please give me some solutions such that
1/ I am able to let the HTML Div element break properly a whole word instead of some letters of that word. (For example, word "with" on the first line should be go to the second line entirely. Similarly, the word "program" on the second line should go entirely to the third line. And so on.)

2/ Please give me a browser-cross solution.

3/ I am able to make the HTML Div editable instead of reading-only at present.

Thanks so much in advance.

Hi

1/ I do not understand what you want. The default behavior in all browsers ( at least as many as I know ) is to wrap on word breakes.

2/ Remove [tt]word-breake[/tt]. Without that is certainly cross browser.

3/ Start with thread216-1401960.

>> I attached my problem with IE and FireFox for the HTML Div element when the page is rendered, and the problem is the words in the Div is split into not-consecutive characters: (sample texts in the Div is broken separately)

>> If I remove style "word-break", then there is nothing to break words. How does that 'removing' become cross browser solution?

Hi

Let us make it shorter. Questions 1 and 2 are off-topic here, post them in forum215.
