I cannot get word-wrap to work with this example...
<html> <head></head> <body> <table style="table-layout:fixed;"> <tr> <td style="word-wrap: break-word; width:100px;">ThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrap</td> </tr> </table> </body></html> 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.

Word-Break has nothing to do with inline-block . Make sure you specify width and notice if there are any overriding attributes in parent nodes. Make sure there is not white-space: nowrap .
The two properties ( word-break and word-wrap ) differ rules and overflow of words: as mentioned earlier, word-wrap is used to break words that overflow their container, while the word-break property breaks all words at the end of a line, even those that would normally wrap onto another line and wouldn't overflow their ...
An example of word wrap is the automatic moving of the words on a long line of words to fit the words within a cell on a spreadsheet. (computing) A word processing feature which automatically adjusts lines of text to fit within the page margins. Words exceeding the margins are set to begin a new line.
Add:
display: inline-block; to the style of your td.
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.
Add:
display: inline-block; word-break: break-word; to the style of your td.
The previous paragraph applies to Opera in a similar way.

Use this code (taken from css-tricks) that will work on all browser
overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; -ms-word-break: break-all; /* This is the dangerous one in WebKit, as it breaks things wherever */ word-break: break-all; /* Instead use this non-standard one: */ word-break: break-word; /* Adds a hyphen where the word breaks, if supported (No Blink) */ -ms-hyphens: auto; -moz-hyphens: auto; -webkit-hyphens: auto; hyphens: auto; If you love us?
