Ever since switching from TABLE-layout to DIV-layout, one common problem remains:
PROBLEM: you fill your DIV with dynamic text and inevitably there is a super-long word that extends over the edge of your div column and makes your site look unprofessional.
RETRO-WHINING: This never happened with table layouts. A table cell will always nicely expand to the width of the longest word.
SEVERITY: I see this problem on even the most major sites, especially on German sites where even common words such as "speed limit" are very long ("Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung").
Does anyone have a workable solution to this?
