word-wrap break-word does not work in this example

Mozilla Firefox solution

Add:

display: inline-block;

to the style of your td.

Webkit based browsers (Google Chrome, Safari, ...) solution

Add:

display: inline-block;
word-break: break-word;

to the style of your td.

Note: Mind that, as for now, break-word is not part of the standard specification for webkit; therefore, you might be interested in employing the break-all instead. This alternative value provides a undoubtedly drastic solution; however, it conforms to the standard.

Opera solution

Add:

display: inline-block;
word-break: break-word;

to the style of your td.

The previous paragraph applies to Opera in a similar way.


Use this code (taken from css-tricks) that will work on all browser

overflow-wrap: break-word;
word-wrap: break-word;

-ms-word-break: break-all;
/* This is the dangerous one in WebKit, as it breaks things wherever */
word-break: break-all;
/* Instead use this non-standard one: */
word-break: break-word;

/* Adds a hyphen where the word breaks, if supported (No Blink) */
-ms-hyphens: auto;
-moz-hyphens: auto;
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
hyphens: auto;


max-width: 100px;
white-space: break-spaces;

Word-Break has nothing to do with inline-block.

Make sure you specify width and notice if there are any overriding attributes in parent nodes. Make sure there is not white-space: nowrap.
