Word-Wrap

[Joseph Witchard]

Is that standard CSS, or just something from Microsoft? If it's not standard, what do you do in order to achieve that effect with standard CSS?

[scragar]

it's part of the CSS3 specs.

I don't think there's a CSS2 implementation though...

If it's not standard, then what are you supposed to do if the text is too long for the containing element, such as a div or table?

the later half proposes using the wbr tag with the CSS:

wbr:after { content: "\00200B" }

this will solve the problem in all the common browsers(although the sooner CSS3 comes in mainstream use the better).
