Please start by asking your real question (not an assumed solution like
"wordwrap") and illustrate it with a URL.

Did that surprise you? Why?

Anyway, if you wanted to use word-wrap: break-word, you wanted Procrustean
division into lines: break anything to make line length fit, and don't tell
anyone what you have broken. If that's your assumed solution, I'm afraid of
asking what problem might possibly justify such a monstrosity. Thank &Deity;
there is no Mozilla counterpart to that proprietary IE idiosyncracy.

So what would you like to break and why? Did I mention that a URL would be
nice?

First off, it's spelled "you", not "u".

Jukka is describing what's commonly called an "A/B Problem".

That is, you want to solve problem "A", and you've decided that method "B"
is the best way to go about it, so you ask how to do "B".

The problem is that "C" may be a better way to solve "A", but if you ask
about "B" instead of "A", you may never find out about "C".

When posting to this group, it's customary to provide a URL to the page
you're having trouble with.
