I want word wraping in pre tag...i saw Eric's solution but in IE it is breaking words too which is annoying ... is there any css/html which wraps text in pre tag but not break words in IE.

pre is just that, preformated text that is parsed as-is by your browser.
You MAY get somewhere by putting the pre section inside a div and giving the div a fixed width.
