Hello,

I saw, there already was a discussion about this, but it was so old that the system did not allow me to reply to it.

How do you handle long words in forums?

Let me do a test, how webmasterworld handles this:

12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890

Interesting. Obviously WW does not touch this kind of thing at all. I know, there is an IE specific css-attribute "word-wrap:break-word", but I would like to stay within the css-specs. Any way to do it? Or did anyone ever found any other solution to this?

You might find some help with the approach we hacked out on this thread [webmasterworld.com]. It only gives a client-side js alert, but that might be a help.

If your server supports PHP, try the wordwrap() function. [php.net...] for more info.
