Question

I have a long string (a DNA sequence). It does not contain any whitespace character.

For example:

ACTGATCGAGCTGAAGCGCAGTGCGATGCTTCGATGATGCTGACGATGCTACGATGCGAGCATCTACGATCAGTCGATGTAGCTAGTAGCATGTAGTGA 

What would be the CSS selector to force this text to be wrapped in a html:textarea or in a xul:textbox?

Answer 1

for block elements:

<textarea style='width:100px; word-wrap:break-word;'>   ACTGATCGAGCTGAAGCGCAGTGCGATGCTTCGATGATGCTGACGATGCTACGATGCGAGCATCTACGATCAGTC </textarea>

for inline elements:

<span style='width:100px; word-wrap:break-word; display:inline-block;'>     ACTGATCGAGCTGAAGCGCAGTGCGATGCTTCGATGATGCTGACGATGCTACGATGCGAGCATCTACGATCAGTC </span>
