Question

This is a very simple question, but embarrassingly enough I am not sure how to implement this :\

I have div elements with text boxes inside them for users to write comments,replies etc… Very standard concept. The div that contains the text is a certain width. If someone where to write something with out using any spaces, instead of breaking down a line when it hits the right edge of the div, it just keeps going and breaks the element.

I am just wanting to know how to make it line break when it hits the edge spaces provided by user or not.

thanks in advance

Answer 1

There is a word-wrap CSS property that will force long words to wrap:

 word-wrap: break-word;

You might also want to look into overflow.
