Hyperlink

I have a hyperlink that needs to be displayed on a web page. The user can click this link to open the page. What I am wondering is: I think there's a bit of code that can split a hyperlink into 2 lines, but I can't find it.

E.g. this is what is displayed on the page:


I would like it to be displayed as:

test/page/default.html

because of space limitations.

If I split it in the code, even if the anchor tag is still around it, it only considers the first part of the link ( to be the hyperlink and ignores the rest of the url.

Thanks.
 
In IE6, putting a <br> tag in the text between the open- and close-anchor tags works for me.

wouldn't it be simpler to just use a shorter anchor text assuming you have control over it of course.

Code:
<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.test.com/thisisatest/page/default.html">Test[/URL] page</a>

or use <br> in the anchortext as dave suggested

Code:
<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.test.com/thisisatest/page/default.html">www.test.com/thisisa<br>/testpage/default.html</a>[/URL]

Thanks. I did try that, but part of the reason it would not work is because I had the url wrong. I'm not with it today!

Thanks again!
