Word wrap a link so it doesn't overflow its parent div width [duplicate]

Answer 1

I didn't have much luck with the solution in the accepted answer, so I tried a different approach. On load, I pad all slashes in the anchor text with spaces: "/" --> " / ". Most links don't have slashes and so this does nothing, and most links that do have them are hyperlinks, and these look okay with this substitution, and then the links do wrap correctly.

    $('a').each(function ()
    {
        //get the content
        var content = $(this).html();

        //a regex to find all slashes
        var rgx = new RegExp('/', 'g');

        //do the replacement
        content = content.replace(rgx, " / ")

        //the previous step also affects http:// (where present), so fix this back up
        content = content.replace('http: /  / ', 'http://');

        //set the content back into the element
        $(this).html(content);
    });
