Español(Spanish): Hola, estoy diseñando una pagina web y no pude creer cuando vi que firefox no soporta la propiedad Word-Wrap:break-word. Esto es realmente un problema porque el texto no se ajusta a los contenedores, produce un overflow, podría utilizar la propiedad overflow pero no es lo que necesito porque no quiero que haya scroll bars, por ende el texto debería ajustarse y saltar a la linea de abajo en vez de estar contenido en una sola linea.
Espero que puedan ayudarme con este problema.
Utilizo la versión 7 de firefox

It is supposed to work according to this page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/word-wrap
Can you post a link to a page where it is not working?
is an intranet page, but works on every other browsers, just with firefox doesn't
Does the example page above work?
If the rule is in an external file, is the rest of the file being applied as expected?
If you open the Firefox error console (Ctrl+Shift+j), clear it, and reload the page, do any of the style warnings seem applicable to that rule (or the one right before it)?
Is there any height set for that DIV container that might cause it?
here is the code of my div
<div style="word-wrap:break-word; padding:0px 10px 0px 10px;font-size:12; overflow:auto; white-space-collapse:collapse;" >
put all text in the same line, doesn't break it

i guess i know when happen this, if i use "<pre>" tags have problem, if don't works fine, now my ask is why this appear only in firefox?

< pre > tags
The intended effect of the <pre> tag is to preserve the layout of your text exactly as typed. If you are not looking for that effect, there's no reason to use a <pre> tag.
