Strange CSS word-wrap stuff

By pavic | May 17, 2006

I wanted to make DIV to act as a text area (to break words and to add scrollbars)
So I have been doing some testing. If You want dinamically to add content to that div, and to break it
You should write css definitions like this:

#userTags {
border:1px;
border-style:solid;
width:50%;
height:40px;
word-wrap:break-word;
text-align: left;
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;
overflow:auto;
}

So, firefox and IE does not break the line in a same way, IE won’t add white space for You if it’s not &nbsp ; and ffox will not break it if it’s &nbsp ; and will if its whitespace.
So workaround for this problem is to add both:

.append(str.innerHTML+”  ”);
