word-wrap break-word does not work in this example

Question

I cannot get word-wrap to work with this example... ```

ThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrap

``` I remembered reading that a layout had to be specified (which I did), but beyond that I'm not sure what I have to do to get this to work. I really would like this to work in Firefox. Thanks. EDIT: Failed in Chrome 19 and Firefox 12, it works in IE8. I tried doctype strict and transitional, neither worked.

Accepted Answer

Mozilla Firefox solution

Add:

```
display: inline-block;
```

to the style of your `td`.

Webkit based browsers (Google Chrome, Safari, ...) solution

Add:

```
display: inline-block;
word-break: break-word;
```

to the style of your `td`.

Note: Mind that, as for now, `break-word` is not part of the standard specification for webkit; therefore, you might be interested in employing the `break-all` instead. This alternative value provides a undoubtedly drastic solution; however, it conforms to the standard.

Opera solution

Add:

```
display: inline-block;
word-break: break-word;
```

to the style of your `td`.

The previous paragraph applies to Opera in a similar way.
