CSS - Breaking/wrapping Long Text W/o Spaces
Anybody know how to force a long string of text that doesn't contain any spaces to wrap inside its containing div, and not just sprawl outside of the entire page?
I've done some searching and can't seem to find a lot of discussion about this particular problem. If the content contained enough spaces, then the overflow would wrap nicely, but there aren't any. What am I missing here? Thanks Similar TutorialsI am trying to get some URLs to wrap within table cell which I am able to do with the CSS "word-wrap:break-word". However, when it comes to Mozilla, this CSS property does not work. I understand that the word-wrap property is specific to IE. But does anyone know of a way to make this work with Mozilla? If I have to parse the string incvolved with Javascript, so be it! (But please don't make me!!) I'm having trouble getting text to wrap within a DIV. In my purposely garish sample code below, what I want is for the image and the paragraph to appear side by side within the red DIV, with the paragraph wrapping onto multiple lines as necessary. What happens instead is that if the paragraph is too long to fit on one line beside the image, the blue DIV moves underneath the red one and the text remains on one line. Not what I want at all! Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

If you shorten the paragraph you can see where I want the text to be displayed. It's only when it exceeds the available width within the red DIV that the whole blue DIV moves further down the page, where the text is suddenly quite happy to start wrapping. This can probably be solved with a single line of CSS but I've been trying all sorts with no joy. Can anyone please pinpoint what I need to do? Hi, I have a problem that I'm trying to figure out. If I have a div such as the following: PHP Code: #Div1 { background: url(title.gif) no-repeat; position: absolute; top: 30px; left: 30px; width: 387px; height: 55px; .. which I want to be able to use absolute positioning to place within my page. My question is, is there a way to make it so that text will wrap around it (such as a regular aligned image) instead of the text appearing underneath it? I have a box that I use for a container and then another box inside of that set to a width. When I put text into the inner box the text seems to go beyond what it should. Can anybody tell me what might be wrong with it. Code is as follows----\ Code:
.content_contain {/* This is the main container for the content, its width run 100% of the wrapper */
height: 575px;/* Gives it a height so that when the main_content block is empty it still holds a size. */
width:100%;
z-index:0;
}
.main_content {/* This is the main content, this will hold the left menu and right content */
height:100%;/* Height is set to 100% so that it will grow when the text goes beyound 550px of the main container */
width:750px;
margin:0px auto;
text-align:left;/* Have to use text-align:left becuase of the body text-align:center hack for IE */
position:relative;
background:white;
border:1px solid white;
z-index:5;
}
Thanks for any help that you guys can come up with... Stephen Hello, i know this quest has been asked a few tims before as i did a search on it, but could not find an answer to help.. (though i may have missed it as i havet slepted in days) i have this setup on a page where i have a table of 4 imgs in the top right of the main table.. the text starts at the top left but dose not wrap under the images once its long enough and past the images.. (ill try and draw it for you here) .......== .......== ....... ....... ....... ....... ....... the . is my text the == is a image (/ is just a space), above is what its doing, what i need is for it to do this .......==/== .......==/== ............... ............... ............... thats what i need. i hope this shows what i mean :P any help would be great thanx. I have a span that displays a message generated from ASP. The message is not wrapping like I expected it to. My CSS for the span looks like this, #message { padding:5px; font:bold 100% Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; border: 1px dashed #000000; } And my HTML looks like this, <span id="message">This is a sample message. This is a long message that will not wrap as one would expect.</span> When the message is long, the span wraps, but it overlaps the first line. I have tried adding float:left to it, but then it becomes so wide that scrollbars are displayed. I could add a width with the float, but if I do that then the short messages look funny when displayed (the border goes the whole width, and therefore there is whitespace to contend with). How can I make this wrap like would be expected (no overlap)? Thanks, Drew I am a bit lost as to how to accomplish the following: I have two divs of unequal width, let's say 300 and 100 for example. I need to float both of these divs to the right and have them stacked on top of each other. That's easy enough on it's own, but I need text to wrap around them properly. ie if the wide one is on top the text should flow to it's left edge, then flow underneath it it the narrow divs left edge, then underneath the narrow one. I tried doing this with relaitve positioning, but have had no luck. If I simply float them both to the right, they line up side by side as expected. If I wrap them both in one container div, the text will flow to the left edge of the wide div but obviously not wrap underneath it to the left edge of the narrow div. Any ideas? hey guys, im not the greatest with css and html but i do it for fun to try and teach myself. Anyways I have a css drop menu set up on my site and I am having a problem with the width sizes in the actual drop down. The text length is of various sizes in the drop down. (some are long single words, some are 2 words etc) and I am using a width size of 11em which in all browsers using a standard screen res shows up fine. but if somebody uses a smaller screen res the text starts wrapping. Where you get the 2 word lines split into 2 lines. and then If i increase the size sometimes I get separate <li>'s on the same line. Its pretty frustrating. What I want to do is be able to increase the width size of the drop menu and even have all kinds of extra padding on the right if I want but without <li>'s spilling onto the next line or without <li>'s sitting on the same line cause its too big. Here is my CSS for the drop. Code: #nav li ul {
background: #FCDFFF;
background-image: url('images/background.png');
border-style: ridge;
border-width: 5px;
border-color: #000000;
margin-top: 0px;
position: absolute;
font-size: 95%;
width: 11em;
left: -999em;
line-height: 2;
z-index: 999;
}
anybody know how I can do what Im looking for? Thanks in advance! hi, i successfully managed to text wrap content around an image that was floated to the left (within a div element).... however, i now want an image with a caption and thus i want to text wrap the content around the div element containing the image and caption which is floated to the left... however, i cannot work out how to do this and performing a google search has not helped - can someone help me here? Trying to achieve this: I'm having trouble figuring out how to float the right ad space correctly. This is what i've got so far: http://gatehouse.graffetto.com/floating_divs.html Code: Code: <html>

How can I amend this? Thank you in advance. Hi How can I wrap a long line of text inside a fixed width div? This is the line in my index.html: PHP Code: <PRE class=yup>blah blah blah and more blah blah blahblah more blah blah blah yes yes blah blah</PRE> This is my PRE code in style.css: PHP Code: PRE { BORDER-RIGHT: #2f6fab 1px dashed; PADDING-RIGHT: 1em; BORDER-TOP: #2f6fab 1px dashed; PADDING-LEFT: 1em; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1em; BORDER-LEFT: #2f6fab 1px dashed; COLOR: #000000; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.1em; PADDING-TOP: 1em; BORDER-BOTTOM: #2f6fab 1px dashed; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f9f9f9; width: 90%; } PRE.yup { COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12px; text-align: left; width: 80%; margin: 12px auto; } The PRE tag is in a table and i want the long text the same lenght as the short text, but i have no clue how to do it. Any ideas? I have a script that shows the latest lines from my chat. sometimes people will post a super long url or another super long thing without periods ie testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something how can I make css break that up so the browser window won't scroll vertically? Hello, I'm currently in the works of converting an old HTML site of mine into CSS and have run into what seems to be a notorious problem with the page text not pushing the footer down when the text gets to a certain length. Instead the text just covers and hides the footer. I've been trying to remedy this problem for about a week, but to no avail. I've Googled this problem and tried the suggested fixes, but once again have had no such luck. I'm left to believe that every instance is unique. If you view the Style Sheet, I have the 'footerlinks' set at an "Absolute" position because it looks fine on the other pages and I do relize this will have to be changed. As to what else has to be changed I would really appreciate some input as to what I need to do to get the footer to slide down when the text gets lengthy. ------- Here's a link to the page thats having issues with the footer... *** Note: I keep getting an error message saying I can't post URLs on this forum because I have a new user account so below this line is the link to the page I'm having trouble with without the http:// ........ infoheaven.bravepages.com/Testamonials/Testimonials.htm The URL to the STYLE SHEET is located at the top of the page between the "Head" tags of the website source code I provided above. I tried listing my CSS code here, but once again I kept getting the "New user accounts are not permitted to create posts containing URLs" error message. Sorry for the inconvenience.... Dan - Hi! Have been bashing my head against the wall with this one for a while now, so I thought maybe someone here could help me out a bit. Basicly, this sums up the issue: (sorry for the pure-text link, it didn't allow me to put up a propper one... >.<) http://img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cssiebug.png So, what I want is that the search field stays put, no matter how much text is entered into it. This works in all the other browsers, thought it's still a bit buggy, but I think I can fix that. Here is the code that should be of interest in this issue: Code:
<div id="bannerContent">
<!--{{{-->
<div id="logo">
<a href="<?PHP echo $home ?>" target="_self"></a>
</div>
<div id="search">
<form>
<input type="text" class="searchField" name="uSearchQuery">
<input type="submit" class="searchSubmit" name="uSubmitQuery" value="" onFocus="this.blur()">
</form>
</div>
<!--}}}-->
</div>
Code:
#bannerContent
/*{{{*/
{
width: 800px;
height: 158px;
}
#logo
/*{{{*/
{
background: url("../images/layout/logo.png") no-repeat;
width: 394px;
height: 56px;
position: relative;
top: 51px;
left: 24px;
float: left;
}
/*}}}*/
#search
/*{{{*/
{
width: 331px;
height: 32px;
position: relative;
top: 62px;
left: 58px;
display: inline;
float: left;
}
.searchField
{
background: url("../images/layout/search_field_bg.png") no-repeat;
width: 266px;
height: 32px;
border: none;
outline: none;
float: left;
<?PHP
if (!$agentIE && !$agentFF)
echo 'padding-left: 10px;' . "\n";
else
echo 'padding: 8px 0 0 10px;' . "\n";
?>
}
.searchSubmit
{
background: url("../images/layout/search_button.png") no-repeat;
width: 55px;
height: 32px;
margin-left: -10px;
border: none;
outline: none;
cursor: pointer;
float: left;
}
/*}}}*/
/*}}}*/
Thanks a bunch in advance! I'm having trouble with creating CSS rollovers. Well, not so much trouble as frustration. The rollover itself works fine in FF, and that's cool by me, but I have to make it work in IE, and whilst it *does* work in IE, whenever I roll over one of the CSS buttons, a 2 pixel gutter appears in my border div See what I mean... Open this link in FF and then in IE Ahh, great, now it's putting the gutter there in IE regardless. Great. Here's the CSS I'm using: Code:
body { font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; background: #fff; }
img { border: 0px; }
#Container { width: 520px; height: 400px; border: 1px solid #808080; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background: url("backdrop.gif"); background-repeat: repeat; }
#HeaderContainer { border: 0px solid none; width: 500px; padding-bottom: 0px; float: left; }
#NavContainer { position: relative; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 1px solid #000; width: 500px; float: left; padding: 2px; background: #fff; margin: 0px; }
#FooterContainer { border: 0px solid none; width: 500px; float: right; padding-top: 4px; padding-right: 0px; background: #fff; text-align: right; margin: 0px; }
.nav { width: 100px; border: 0px solid none; background: #c0c0c0; height: 20px; text-align: center; padding-top: 5px; float: left; margin: 0px; }
.navSelected { width: 100px; border: 0px solid none; background: #fff; height: 20px; text-align: center; padding-top: 5px; float: left; margin: 0px; }
a.navText, a.navText:visited { font-weight: bold; color: #000; text-decoration: none; }
a.navTextSelected, a.navTextSelected:visited { font-weight: bold; color: #808080; text-decoration: none; }

Hope to god someone can explain what's going on before I go totally insane. Okay, I've been going MENTAL with this. Please help!!!! Here is the page: go to bartlettinteractive dot com / retail /index.html (sorry, I am a new user so they won't let me put in the actual link). Anyways, when you minimize your screen, the nav WRAPS when I want it to just be hidden. I have tried every combination of overflow:hidden and whitespace:nowrap I could imagine and nothing is getting it done. Please be my CSS hero. I searched the forum and could not find a post with a similar issue, so I am creating this one. I have left and right containers, and the heights only wrap to the contents in the right container. So if there happens to be more content in the left container, the text exceeds the div background and continues onto the page background. URL REMOVED I appreciate any help I can get with this - Cadet Palmer I have this page: http://www.taleria.net/ken/ It looks beautiful in Firefox but in IE only the page background shows up. If I comment out the entire CSS file the page shows up in IE so it's obviously a problem with my CSS code - but I don't know where the problem is. Any pointers would be appreciated: Code:
