Default Word Wrap Not Working - 07-13-2008 , 02:04 AM






I cannot seem to get text to wrap at all anywhere in DW. And container
simply expands the text line whether it be a table, an AP Div, etc. I've
tried using both default styles rules and imported ones. I have "no wrap"
unchecked and my containers are of fixed size. I am new to DW and I am sure
there is a simple answer here, but I have been trying all night and am
stumped. Thanks for help on this.

Copy the entire page's code and paste it here. What you are describing makes
no sense but seeing the code is the only way to determine what you have done
wrong.

Does your text contain whitespace? Text can only wrap on whitespace.

That was it! No whitespace! Who would have thought that? I was using the
repeat key to test for word wrap (as I do in all other programs), but in DW
any single line of no-whitespace characters seems to expand any surrounding
box no matter what the box settings. Thanks for the perfect answer to my
question. All is fine now.

Thanks, Walt, but see my reply post below. Seems the answer was much simpler
(as I figured it would be). Tom

Just so you are clear on this, it has nothing to do with Dreamweaver or any DW
settings. This is how html works.
