</div>
The above code is showing a long scrollbar. I want to keep it inside the div's declared width (width: 200px;) without scrolling.
I have tried float, display, position, overflow, but nothing works here.
Alternative you can use overflow-wrap: break-word;. Also avoid inline styles.
css
div{
width: 200px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow-wrap: break-word;
word-wrap: break-word; /* Firefox support */
}
Fiddle
Try this:-
word-wrap: break-word;

Try with these CSS rules
white-space: nowrap; //keep the text on one line
overflow: hidden; //prevent the text from being shown outside the border
text-overflow: ellipsis; //cut off text with an elipsis
Use text-overflow: ellipsis;.

div{
white-space: normal;
}
OR
div{
white-space: pre-wrap;
}

What you need is word-wrap: break-word;, this property will force the non spaced string to break inside the div
Demo
div {

word-wrap: break-word;

I have found this solution my self.
word-break: break-all;
but it doesn't work for Opera.

The other answers have some problems with old browsers, like before Chrome 32.
Its better to use this code:
/* These are technically the same, but use both */
overflow-wrap: break-word;
word-wrap: break-word;
-ms-word-break: break-word;
word-break: break-word;
You can also add a hyphen where the word breaks (if supported):
-ms-hyphens: auto;
-moz-hyphens: auto;
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
hyphens: auto;

do you need to view entire text?
why does CSS rule
a {
word-wrap: break-word;
}
with
<div>
verylongurlherewithnospaces
</div>
not wrapping and causing window to show scrollbar, whereas
div {
word-wrap: break-word;
}
will do the wrapping at its anchor child's text fine?
UPDATE:
just noticed (see L3ST-instance URL field at this form when you resize the window) that I needed word-break:break-all instead of word-wrap:break-word, apart from the suggested display:inline-block, so now using:
a
{
word-break: break-all !important; /* make sure containers don't override */
display: inline-block !important;
}
which works fine
The CSS word-wrap: break-word; works only in display:block; or display:inline-block; elements so you can just use:
a {
display:inline-block;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
a {
width:100px;
word-wrap: break-word;
display:inline-block;
}
<div>
verylongurlherewithnospaces
</div>
P.S. div are display:block; as default by user-agent.
If I were to have a div with a specified width, how would I prevent a new line when the content exceeds the parent div's width?
Here is my HTML code:
<div style="width: 200"><p>Verrrrrrry loooooooong pppppppp ellllemmmmmmmmentttt</p></div>
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
You could simply use:
div {
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden; /* assuming you don't want the <div> to stretch to accommodate */
} /* the width of the text */
div {
width: 300px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
border: 2px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}
<div>This element has some text longer, by far, than the width of the page in which it is contained; it would be lorem ipsum but, honestly, I'd rather spend a few moments typing randomly, but continuously, than go find myself some of that lorem-goodness...</div>
References:
white-space (MDN).
white-space (W3.org, CSS 2.1).
Use white-space: nowrap:
div{
overflow: hidden; /* Prevent text from overflowing div */
white-space: nowrap; /* Prevent text from using more than one line */
}
Try this CSS:
overflow:hidden;
white-space:nowrap;
Should do the trick
