I am trying to get a description in a XUL application to wrap, even if it contains long lines.
For example, if I save the following as a .xul file and open it in Firefox, it looks fine and wraps appropriately:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>
<window
id="theWindow"
title="The Window"
style="overflow: auto;"
xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
>
<vbox flex="1" style="max-width: 200px; overflow:auto; border: 1px dotted black; padding: 2px;">
<description style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 2px;">test</description>
<description style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 2px;">test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test</description>
</vbox>
</window>
However, if I remove the spaces in the big line, it doesn't get wrapped and I just get a scroll bar to see the line:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>
<window
id="theWindow"
title="The Window"
style="overflow: auto;"
xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
>
<vbox flex="1" style="max-width: 200px; overflow:auto; border: 1px dotted black; padding: 2px;">
<description style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 2px;">test</description>
<description style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 2px;">testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttest</description>
</vbox>
</window>
Is there any way I can use CSS or anything else to force the long line to be wrapped when it reaches the 200 pixel limit?
