Break up your long word with the "soft break" tag <WBR>. For example: Thisisalongwordbecausemyspacekeyisbroken becomes: Thisisalong<WBR>wordbecausemy<WBR>spacekeyisbroken
If there is sufficient room to display the whole long word, the break will have no effect. Otherwise it will break at the specified points. Sure it will take a lot of CPU to scan and process the string. Solution: do it in javascript on the user's browser before submitting the form. Make the bugger pay for the overhead.

The user is then redirected to a page that displays the posts from the table they've just posted to. Pretty basic stuff. What I'm looking for is suggestions as to how to break long words (ie, longer than 50 characters) into smaller words, by inserting spaces into the string. Currently, if I post a long word with no spaces into the DB, then it screws the table layouts on the page that displays the post, as the text won't wrap. I'm sure you guys have had to deal with this problem before... any 'best-practice' suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
