line-breaks

I have an HTML table 360px wide, which works great. The challenge is that sometimes a url appears http://this/is/a/really-really-really-really-really/long/url in the text. This causes the table to expand horizontally and a scroll bar appears on the bottom. I don't think overflow:hidden will work because half of the text would be hidden. What is the best way to force breaking the line on slashes (/) and dashes (-) in CSS (hopefully)? It should work with IE7+, Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Working in Rails 3 and jQuery. You can use word-wrap : break-word; like so: <div>http://www.aaa.com/bbb/ccc

How do I use JavaScript to detect <br> <br> <br> to become one <br> ? I tried with: jQuery('body').html().replace(/(\<br\>\r\n){3, }/g,"\n"); but this is not working for me. Simpler: var newText = oldText.replace(/(<br\s*\/?>){3,}/gi, '<br>'); This will allow optional tag terminator (/>) and also spaces before tag end (e.g. <br /> or <br > ). CSS Solution If you want to disable the effect of multiple <br> on the page, you can do it by CSS without using JavaScript: br + br { display: none; } Check the jsFiddle demo . However, this method is ideal when you are working with tags, something like

Sometimes you have to write in your source long lines, that are better to break. How do you indent the stuff ceated by this. You can indent it the same: very long statement; other statement; That makes it harder to differentiate from the following code, as shown in the example. On the other hand you could indent it one level: very long statement; other statement; That makes it easier, but it can happen, that the long line is the start of a nested block, that you want to indent, like this: if ((long test 1) && (long test 2) && (long test 3)) { code executed if true; } In this case again it's

I need to render a line break using outputText so that I can utilize the rendered attributed. I tried <h:outputText value="<br/>" escape="false" /> but it generated exception The value of attribute "value" associated with an element type "null" must not contain the '<' character. BalusC That's indeed not valid since Facelets because it's syntactically invalid in XML. You'd need to manually escape the XML special characters like < , > and so on. <h:outputText value="<br/>" escape="false" /> You can however just emit the <br/> in template text without the need for a <h:outputText> . <br/> To
