Hi,

I need to have URLs wrap inside a table in IE so I insert a space in the URL. I noticed that if the space is before a slash '/', the URL will not wrap. Also, if the space is before a '.' and after a character it does not wrap. To make it even more confusing, the URL will wrap if the space is between two '.'s.

I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me if there are well known cases the above fall into or other scenarios in which the wrapping doesnt work.

Is there a set of fool proof rules for URL wrapping in IE?

Thanks very much.

If the text in the url has spaces it should wrap ie;

<a href"blah.html">bbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbb</a>

wil wrap
whereas;

<a href"blah.html">bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb</a>

won't

If the URL is
<a href"blah.html">bbbbbbbbbbbbx ybbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbb</a>

and x is '/' and y is '.' the URL does not wrap.
Also if x is 'b' and y is '.', it does not wrap.
