I have a column on a Nuke site which is getting pushed too wide. The info I'm giving is a domain name and I can put spaces after the . in the name

ie

bots.pcpropertymanager.com
becomes
bots. pcpropertymanager. com

and I don't have my problem, but it looks horrible.

What I'd like is a code to put inplace of the . or just after to tell the browser that it's ok to break now if necessary.

any ideas anyone?

RE: The opposite of *
you could use preg_replace to strip out spaces:

$string=preg_replace("/ /", "","bots. pcpropertymanager. com");

Sorry, can't have explained properly. I'm putting the spaces in to allow the browser to wrap the text.

What I need is someway of telling the browser that although there aren't spaces it's ok to break the string "here". I've been using spaces because I didn't know a better way.

In this case yes, but another user may have a long domain name and I don't want to have to be alerted everytime a domain gets added so I can see if it's too long, and where the right place to break is.

Right now I'm not getting many added every day but that could change.

RE: The opposite of *
u can use this function to break long words..

php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. function break_long_words($text) {
  3.     $max_word_length=40;
  4.     $break="<img width='0' />";
  5.     return preg_replace("~S{$max_word_length}~s", "$0$break", $text);
  6. }


anyway, there is also a better option to insert zero-width-breaking-space, but unfortunately that doesn't work good in IE..

RE: The opposite of *
perhaps you could just hack off the end anr replace the rest with ...

and have the full name desplay as a tooltip ?

php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2.  
  3. if (strlen($thisdomain) >= 20){
  4.  echo '<span title='.$Domain_Name.'>'.substr($Domain_Name,0,20).'...</span>'; }else{
  5.  echo $Domain_Name; }
  6.
