for some reason the text in my div doesn't go to the next line, i've tried several different css elements which don't seem to work.... word-wrap:break word, just jumbles the letters...
what i want is for one there is an extra word it goes down to the next line like it's supposed to
here is my code
this is the div it's in
#top7 {
width: 150px;
height:auto;
margin: 5px;
display: block;
float: left;
word-wrap:break-word;
}
text that it's in
#p6 {
font-family: Myriad Pro;
margin: 1px;
font-size: 22px;
background-color:#540f45;
padding: 5px 5px 3px 4px;
margin:4px;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
text-align: right;
font-family: Myriad Pro;
}
here is the php function that retrieves the data from the database
<p id='p6'><?php echo "<a href='' "</a>"; ?></p>
this is all wrapped in these two id's
body {
background:#603e4f;
display: block;
}
#foursquare {
background-color:#603e4f; width: 290px;
display: block;
position: absolute;
}
