Default text wrapping issues - 11-01-2005 , 05:33 PM





I have created a template for my site and cannot seem to get the text to wrap
in the editable area. I made sure the no wrap isn't checked and am not sure
what else to try. Here is the code. Any help is appreciated.

<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->

If you don't have any spaces in the text, the browser cannot wrap it.
The only alternative is to stretch the table wide enough to display it.

It will wrap if you throw in a space or a hyphen into your text.

Adding a space will work reliably. Adding a hyphen will work in IE, but
not in Gecko browsers.

The d's are just an example that is not what I am typing into the editable
area. It doesn't matter what I type, I always have to hit return in order for
it to go to the next line. That is a pain when you have quite a bit to type.

Then post a simple example with spaces in the content that would allow
the line to break.

Everything look fine, until I look at it in the browser and then it is just one
long long without any wrapping.

What you posted is a partial code sample. I cannot copy and paste it
into DW to see what the problem is.

Ok here is all the code.

That wraps just fine for me. Where are you seeing the problem,
Dreamweaver or some specific browser?

If you try this code you will see how it looks. When you type anything long
in, it causes the tables to extend out further, messing up the interface.
Thanks for your help.

I'm sorry. I'm just not seeing the same thing. I type tons in the one
editable area in the body of the page and the text wraps just fine.

You DO have some rather flaky code in the page though. See this:

<tr bgcolor="#53799D"> </tr>

You cannot have a table row without having any cells in it. With the
maze of split and merged cells, it's hard to say what you were going
for, but try changing it to this:

<tr bgcolor="#53799D"><td colspan="3">&nbsp;</tr>
