Force wordwrap inside <div></div> ?? 2

[Sleidia]

Hi

How do you force wordwrap inside <div id="mydiv" style="width: 55"></div> after you have dynamically changed it's visibility ?

document.getElementById( 'mydiv' ).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById( 'mydiv' ).style.display = '';

It seems that dynamically changing the display ruins the width property (tested on Firefox only).

Thanks !!

ruins the width property? how are you changing the style? i bet it's more than just with the display property. is your "myDiv" really a div? DIVs are block elements, by default. short of an answer to all of these questions, try display of 'block' instead of ''.

Your width is somewhat mangled. 55 what? Percent? Pixels? Maybe centimeters? Points? How is the browser to know? Could be that IE assumes pixels and FF thinks you were too lazy to type so it will be too lazy to guess. Words wrap by default in a div. Make sure you have spaces in them and that width has properly defined width. Or else it will be 100% wide.

Sorry, it's just a typo in this post.
The original code says 55px.
