Long Text Break

[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.

Set a defined width on the the column or cell. Most likely you have it set to 100%, so it will grow. Try setting to a specific width, eg. width="250px

Yes I did that. In IE it seems to work, but in firefox the text continues to extend pass the table column.

Table column.

If you were only targeting IE browsers, you could use:

word-break: break-all

but this doesn't work on all browsers.

I'd ask this question in the HTML/CSS forum though as this isn't an ASP.NET issue.
