In HTML body try    lt table gt       lt tr gt           lt td gt               lt div style  word-wrap  break-word  width  800px  gt                  Hello world  how are you  More text here to see if it wraps after a long while of writing and it does on Firefox but I have not tested it on Chrome yet  It also works wonders if you have a medium to long paragraph  Just avoid writing in the CSS file that the words have to break-all  that s a small tip               lt  div gt           lt  td gt       lt  tr gt   lt  table gt    In CSS body try   background-size  auto   table-layout  fixed

The only one that works across IE  Firefox  chrome  safari and opera if there are no spaces in the word  such as a long URL  is   div      width  200px        word-break  break-all      I found this to be bullet-proof

Another option is also using   div      white-space  pre-line      This will set all your div elements in all browsers that support CSS1  which is pretty much all common browsers as far back as IE 8

div          set a width     word-wrap  break-word    The  word-wrap  solution only works in IE and browsers supporting CSS3  The best cross browser solution is to use your server side language  php or whatever  to locate long strings and place inside them in regular intervals the html entity  amp  8203  This entity breaks the long words nicely  and works on all browsers  e g  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa amp  8203 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

A server side solution that works for me is   message   wordwrap  message  50    lt br gt    true   where  message is a string variable containing the word chars to be broken up  50 is the max length of any given segment  and   lt br gt   is the text you want to be inserted every  50  chars
