I'm making a "sort elements" web game using jQuery, HTML & CSS. While everything works fine in FF, IE8, Opera, Chrome, I'm having problem with
IE7 wrapping words inside block elements.
Here's how it looks in
IE7 (wrong):
Link (cannot post images as a new user)
In IE8 the box with wrapped text would just expand to fit it whole in one line without any overflows. Sorry, can't give another link as a new user
Don't mind the element order as it's random. Elements are dynamically generated by jQuery.
HTML code:
<div class="ui-sortable" id="area">
<span class="object">: </span>
<span class="object">1998- </span>
<span class="object">ISSN 1392-4087</span>
<span class="object">, </span>
<span class="object">. </span>
<span class="object">nepriklausomas savaitraštis buhalteriams, finansininkams, auditoriams</span>
<span class="object">. </span>
<span class="object">. </span>
<span class="object">. </span>
<span class="object">Vilnius</span>
<span class="object">1998- </span>
<span class="object"><em>Apskaitos, audito ir mokesciu aktualijos</em></span>
</div>
CSS code (irrelevant info like fonts & colors removed):
#area {
min-height: 160px;
width: 760px;
}
.object {
display: block;
float: left;
text-align: center;
width: auto;
}
Any comments on why does
IE7 does that? How do I make these spans expand to fit the whole text in one line in
IE7 and not wrap the text or make overflows?
