I really need to know how to do that (so it instead cuts the word) because my tables get messy when I input a BIG word with no spaces; ex a long url. |

Put simply, you don't.
(Though you could use PHP and "wordwrap", but that'd break long lines anywhere; even if it's a "<a href=lolololol>heh</a>" link) ____________________ I dealt with it. |

In the case of a URL, just use a tag instead to give the URL text a different name.
Like this: <a href="http://www.whatever.com/something.htm">Link text goes here</a> |

There is a wordwrap function in PHP? Let me check.
Edit: Thanks that is exactly what I need. |

There's also the CSS "overflow" property.
overflow: hidden: overflow: none (default): QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM
overflow: auto: QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM
The third box should have a scroll bar, not sure why it doesn't here. Notice though if you try to select the text, you can scroll it by dragging right. |

The scroll bar appears for me (in the latest version of Firefox)... |

It appears here (Opera 9)... it might be because the box itself has no set height, so there's no room for the scroll bar.
QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM
Of course, there's another problem with this: QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM

Yes, I should probably add: NEVER USE OVERFLOW: AUTO TO MAKE A LAYOUT >8^( |

Flurry #&postrank& For here, I just made it split long words by inserting spaces, but only for thread titles ...
I think there was a CSS property to force wrapping, but it cut in the middle of words and such (even short)  ____________________ |

I just force the size of a table with <table> attributes, they should crush any words which disobey you.
As well as modern specifications. >.> |
