Word wrapping long text without whitespaces

[Maneesh Godbole]

I have a scenario where some text can be quite long, without white spaces. What is the recommended CSS way to make sure it wraps properly?

Did you try to put the text in a fixed width element and use the word-wrap property?

If the browser supports CSS3, you have word-wrap, it not, you are basically out of luck. You can also look into zero width space character.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

@Eric
I did try the zero width space character and it works fine. Problem was I had to write some code snippet which would insert the character after every n characters. I was wondering if there was a "better" CSS approach.

For now I have used the word-wrap as well as the zero width space character.
