Don't know how to explain this. Let's see the picture
See! Some text is showing divided. I used overflow hidden property. I've cut off the whole string into 200 letters. And then positioned it inside a div. This is dynamic. Problem occurs when someone put extra or newlines in the paragraph. Then this happens. Can anyone please tell me how to stop this? These half sentences should not occur in that div as visible. Is there any system or property to stop this?
use white-space: nowrap; for your div to show the text in one line.this way, it'll hide the extra text that comes in your div of fixed width as you have hidden the overflow

First of all you need to remove any fixed height for the divs, probably replacing it for a min-height.
Second, you should set the property overflow:none, to avoid rendering to cut the contents of the div, and instead of that expand it to the required size.
you can even try overflow: scroll. By this no matter how much content you have, u can always scroll.

Currently, when I add a line or two of text, everything that comes below the text within the div overlaps with the div below. I believe this is a positioning issue. What do I have to do so that I can add new content w/o worrying about divs overlapping?
It sounds like the item you are adding content to either has a height or max-height value set to it in CSS. If you remove those, it will allow the div to expand instead of running out.
Be careful though, as this might make other elements go wonky which will also need to be adjusted.
Use Samanime's answer, and to make navigation easier, set overflow=y: scroll or auto, so as long as contents overlaps the height you defined, the scrollbar will make possible to go around inside div. Like this:
<div style="max-height: 300px; overflow-y: auto;"> yourstuff </div>
Long inputs in my site overflow out of the div and the allowed width.
I read that it's because the browser will only insert line breaks if there are spaces.
Since my site is all about user-input, that could mess up with things.
I wanted to know if there's a way to still limit the width even if the input has no spaces in it.
I recomend you to use overflow:auto instead, to your div. It may give you better result.
Make your div scrollable so all overflowing content doesn't break the layout but scrolls instead.
<div style="overflow:scroll;">...</div>
Yea, word wrap breaks lines on word boundaries. If you don't have word boundaries, then that's going to be an issue.
So don't rely on word-wrap, but make your containers scrollable with overflow: scroll and friends in CSS.
I have a div that the client will be doing some actions that (with JavaScript) will change the content. Sometimes this content will get annoyingly long. Is there a "simple" way to do this? I've messed with the CSS "Overflow" property and it works alright but I'd rather only have a vertical scroll bar, no horizontal scroll bars.
This is also assuming that some of the content doesn't include spaces (which will produce the normal effect).
I need it to split it in the middle of the word if it requires doing so.
Example:
I want the overflow to acti
vate even if it is in the m
iddle of a word.
Thanks if you can. Here is a jsFiddle of what I'm kind of working with:
http://jsfiddle.net/DalexL/znzk2/
overflow-y: auto
overflow-x: none
and also
word-wrap: break-word;
there's also word-break
word-break: break-all;
current support is limited though, appears to be IE9, Chrome, Safari only, but may be worthwhile for the hyphenate option
word-break: hyphenate;
have you tried setting the width of the div? and its overflow to overflow:auto
I think that should work.
If you set html and body overflow to hidden, and your div height to 100% with overflow auto, that will not work. The div will keep flowing out of the window as it was told to use 100% height of the body. if you want overflow to work, it needs to have a max-height at some point not exceeding the body height so that nothing gets hidden. http://jsfiddle.net/robx/XvcXC/1
Edit: So i misunderstood your problem as seem like something has changed since i first saw your question. Updated here http://jsfiddle.net/robx/XvcXC/2/ to break long lines of text.
I am making a site in HTML, and I am putting a heading on top of an object. When I shrink the window enough, the object and the text interfere
Is there any way I can have the text just stay in one spot without it wrapping to the browser window if there is no space left in the browser?
I have tried using fixed as a position property in CSS, but the same thing happened.
If you set an explicit width on the containing object (perhaps a <div> tag) it will not resize with the window. When the window becomes too small, it will not wrap around like you mentioned but force a scroll bar to appear.
I'm not sure what you mean by ending lines. If you're talking about wrapping, have you considered a fixed size DIV with overflow:hidden as a CSS rule?
Here is my site, first of all.
You'll notice that underneath the divider bar in the middle of the page, there are three columns, one with a form, one with text, one with links.
Now, resize the window to slightly smaller, and the right div will drop down to the next line.
Is there anyway to just not display that? So, the divs will adjust (I have a liquid layout) up to the point where they won't fit, then, instead of wrapping the div down to the next line, it just won't be displayed?
You can also achieve that with CSS only.
Just assign the following CSS attributes to #row4:
#row4 {
min-width:1202px; /* the exact value depends on the sum of the width of your 3 column boxes */
overflow:hidden;
}
This differs slightly from your intended solution, since the right box will stay partly visible when sizing down the window and will not immediately disappear completely.
Please be aware that min-width won't work in IE6. However, there are several ways to emulate the min-width property, if you need to support old IEs:

You can give them a wrapper div with a min-width set and force it to use a horizontal scrollbar if it gets too small. The nice thing about a wrapper div is you can give it a max-width as well and keep things from getting wonky on super huge monitors.
I'm not a fan of horizontal scrollbars, but it beats completely removing content.
Ok here is what you should do
Wrap all three floated division on a parent div, something like this
<div id="parent">
<div class="form">......</div>
<div class="text">......</div>
<div class="links">.....</div>
</div>
Now to solve your problem give a fixed height to the parent div like
#parent { height:400px;clear:both; }
You would have to use Javascript to get the width of the viewport, then change the display property of the div that is wrapping to display:none so that it doesn't show up when the browser width is too small.
