Hi, I'm looking for a good way to display long URLs in full. The page has an elastic, somewhat fluid width, so the URL should take up as much of the available width as possible before wrapping. Of course, the URL may disrupt the layout if it didn't wrap at all. I can use server-side scripting to massage the URL, e.g. insert some sort of breakpoint every x chars.
The question: how can this be handled in the final HTML/CSS? It would be nice if the breaks didn't appear unless required. While HTML allows for "insert a line break" and "insert a space that doesn't break," it doesn't seem to be able to do something like "don't break between these two chars unless you really need to." I know about soft-hyphens, but I believe their support, esp. with Gecko browsers, is spotty. Have there been any hacks to replace soft hyphen functionality or otherwise define hidden breakpoints in words? Am I overlooking some easy alternative solution? Or will I just have to live with literal spaces rendered on screen? Thanks! --Mike ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
