CSS - Any Way Of Making Sure Words/letters Break To A New Line?
Hi all,
I've created a template in CSS and divs, but when someone puts a word like this_is_a_template - with no spaces in it, it breaks the left nav. Is there any way of making sure words break once they get to the width of the leftnav, even when they don't have spaces in them? Cheers.

My homepage is he Code: tonycai.com As you can see my paragraphs doesn't break a line. Thanks Hi I'm in the middle of creating a web forum, and I've run into a little 'snafu'. Forum replys have a fixed width design so when words are used that are greater than width of the design, 500px, the word actually expands the design. All I want is for the word to stop at 500px and begin on a newline. A picture can always explain it better: Code: <table class='forum_block'> <thead> <th>mikeymike</th> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class='post_text' colspan='2'>gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg ggggggggg</td> </tr> <tr> <td class='post_date' colspan='2'>1280199359</td> </tr> </tbody> <tfoot> <tr> <td colspan='2'><a href='?edit=51'><button><img src='/_images/icons/comment_edit.png' />Edit</button></a> <a href='?post_form=17'><button><img src='/_images/icons/comment.png' />Post reply</button></a> <a href='?post_form=17,quote=51'><button><img src='/_images/icons/comment_add.png' />Quote</button></a> </td> </tr> </tfoot> </table> Code:

Is it possible to adjust the line spacing in text using CSS because pressing return in text, the spacing is either too big or too small. I want control of line spacing so that I can have text and paragraph control like I do with Word documents. eg. A B I want the distance from A to B to be either greater or smaller. Can you also control the space between letters? eg. AB I want the spacing between A to B further or closer. Is this all possible on a HTML page without having to use images for text or using tables to seperate each text line on a table to create different line spacing. How do I create two div blocks that lay side by side from each other? Right now I have two "column" divs (one left and one right), and separate "box" div that contain the content. CSS: Code: div#frame
{
width: 40%;
margin-top: auto;
margin-bottom: 50px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 5px;
border-right-color: black;
border-bottom-color: black;
border-left-color: white;
border-top-color: white;
}
div#title
{
width: 100%;
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
div.box
{
width: 100%;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 5px;
border-right-color: black;
border-bottom-color: black;
border-left-color: white;
border-top-color: white;
}
div#left
{
width: 45%;
}
div#right
{
width: 45%;
margin-left: 50%;

The second link is coming at the end of a line and is breaking to the next line in the middle. Is there a way to force the entire <a> tag to go to the next line if it wont all fit on the current line? something like Code:

I want it to show up like this: Section Title *List 1 *List 2 *List 3 How to I take out the extra line break? Any help is grateful! ljCharlie Hi im having trouble with a padding problem. I have a paragraph with a background color, and I need the paragraph to be on two seperate lines so I add the <br> tag and when i do this happens. http://www.sloweducation.com/la.htm You see, it only does the padding-left on the top line.. is there a way I can make it pad the bottom line also? I dont know what to do at all. Thanks. This is probably the dumbest question ever, but I hardly ever work on GUI stuff anymore so here it goes... I have some buttons that have their size (height and width) controlled by CSS. The text I'm putting on them is sometimes too long to fit unless it would wrap, but it doesn't want to wrap, it wants to disappear off the side of the button. Is there a way to explicity tell it to wrap if it needs to, or even insert a "new line" character? Thanks! Hi, folks. I'm having a curious problem with the navigation on my page. I'd like the nav and header to be all on the same line. It works when I just include the nav icons as images directly in the HTML. But when I make the nav icons into links, set each link to display:block, and give it the appropriate background-image, it puts all the icons on a new line. I'm not sure why. Any ideas? You can see the page with the problem and the effect I'm trying to achieve at these two TinyURLs: Problem: TinyURL dotcomslash a8qnky Working: TinyURL dotcomslash 8tj29l (The HTML validates, and the CSS validates except for the IE PNG transparency fix. I'm still experiencing this problem without that fix in place.) try to make a UL into a horizontal nav. i want the a's inside the li's to be display:block, so i need a block element around the outside, but that means they wrap to new lines. What is block without new lines? thanks. Anyway to remove the automatic line break after list items? I'd like to use styles to create roll-over effects in a menu I've used an unordered list to create that menu. But, I'd like a horizontal menu bar rather than a vertical menu column. Thanks! David Goldfeder I have a search box/button I want to keep on a single line in a tool bar on my page in strict XHTML/CSS. The <form> tag produces a line break beforehand. In old HTML I could put the <form> tag outside of the table row or data tags, but XHTML does not allow that (bad nesting). I found in devshed here to use style="display:inline;" which works! But the page does not validate as strict XHTML/CSS (using validator.w3.org). <table><tr><td> <!-- simplified to illustrate!! --> <form method="get" action="..." style="display:inline;"> <input type="text" name="q" size="10" maxlength="255" value="" /> <input type="submit" name="sa" value="go" /> </form> </td></tr></table> The Error and reason given is below. It seems that you can not have a block-level element (<input>) within in inline-level element (<form>). *** document type does not allow element "input" here; missing one of "p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div", "pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag. The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element. One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>"). *** Does anyone know how to code this to not have the linebreak and still maintain strict XHTML/CSS code? I am having two problems with a theme I have for PHPBB3. One problem is the text that you type into textboxes when making a new post, updating your profile, or a few other spots is white on a very light grey background; therefore, hardly showing up. The second problem is that the page display a white line at the bottom of a few pages (but not others) and the line goes away if you resize the IE window smaller, but reappears again if you full screen it. I know the first problem has to exist in the stylesheet.css file; however, I am not sure where to make these changes as I am not familiar with PHPBB stylesheets. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Example: Current View: <br> - option 1 <br> - option 2 Desired View: - option 1 - option 2 Possible? Thanks- Charlie Epes Buffalo, NY In PHP I limit the heading to 35 characters. This works great and fits within the allocated width unless the heading is in all caps or mostly caps. I want to allow caps, but depending on how many are used will determine the over all width of the heading. I want to maintain constant width with Capital Letters in a table. I also don't want text used in a heading <p> to wrap, but by not wrapping it will continue beyond the borders of the cell and table. What I really need to do is cut off characters from the end if it goes beyond the border. How can I cut off the end of a sentence (heading) to kept the heading within assigned borders without it wrapping? This is the code I am experimenting with: Code: <html>
<head>
<title>Fixed widths</title>
<style type="text/css">
table {
table-layout:fixed;
width:613px;
}
td {
table-layout:fixed;
width:260px;
vertical-align:top;
text-align:center;
}
p {
white-space:nowrap;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1" cellpadding='0' cellspacing='10'>
<tr>
<td><p><strong>This heading can only have 35 chars</strong></p></td>
<td><p><strong>THIS HEADING CAN ONLY HAVE 35 CHARS</strong></p></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
If I use word-break:break-all solves the problem when I enter a word without spaces (for e.g pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp), it breaks and coming in line by line like (ppppppp ppppppp ppppp) as I required. If I use word-break-cjk solves the problem when I enter a word without spaces (for e.g Transfer Approval flow- Large value at Notes to Approvers distubs the UI on Approval tracking page.Transfer Approval flow- Large value at Notes to Approvers distubs the UI on Approval tracking page.Transfer Approval flow- La Transfer Approval flow- Large value at Notes to Approvers distubs the UI on Approval tracking page.Transfer Approval flow- Large value at Notes to Approvers distubs the UI on Approval tracking page.Transfer Approval flow- La), it breaks the word as I required. But I need both scenarios should work. Which style I need to use...? Greetings, I am relatively new to CSS and am using background image bullets. Problem is, in the case of a two line link, the bullet aligns in between the two lines and I need it to align to the top line. Below is the CSS, and attached is a screenshot of the link to better illustrate my predicament. Thanks for any help! li { list-style-type: none; background: url(../images/bullet.gif) no-repeat left; padding: 0 0 0 10px; } Greetings, I have a class called "header" and I am trying to give it a touch of extra space between it and the next line. All of my headers are just a few words and thus on one line. I tried placing "line-height: 1.5em" in my "header" class and it shows up correctly in Dreamweaver but not in IE. My thought is, because it is only a single line, that class value does not kick in because there is no second line for that class. Is there a way to conrol this in CSS or am I going to have to resort to using a....gulp.....spacer? Thanks in advance! |
