bootstrap 3 wrap text content within div for horizontal alignment

Question

My post title here could be misleading. first have a look at HTML i have currently:

As you can see, each column's text content overflows to next column. Secondly, each of them is not horizontal aligned. (eg the link for view details does not align straight). I want them to be aligned straight irrespective of length of text.

Here is my HTML code: (the content here is dynamically generated. so the no of items will vary). I use bootstrap 3 in my code.

<div class="row" style="box-shadow: 0 0 30px black;">


      <div class="col-6 col-sm-6 col-lg-4">

Answer 1

Add the following style to your h3 elements:

word-wrap: break-word;

This will cause the long URLs in them to wrap. The default setting for word-wrap is normal, which will wrap only at a limited set of split tokens (e.g. whitespaces, hyphens), which are not present in a URL.

Answer 2

Now Update word-wrap is replace by :

overflow-wrap:break-word;

Compatible old navigator and css 3 it's good alternative !

it's evolution of word-wrap ( since 2012... )

Answer 3

1) Maybe oveflow: hidden; will do the trick?

2) You need to set the size of each div with the text and button so that each of these divs have the same height. Then for your button:

button {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
}
