It seems that the entities for zero width non-joiner and thin space don't work in IE8. Is there some CSS way of accomplishing the same thing? I'm showing examples of citations of online sources, some of which have long URLS or URLS that might start at the end of a line. The correct way to format these in APA style is to break the URL before a punctuation mark. So, for instance, I am using this: http://www.sage-ereference.com‌/homelessness/Article_n83.html to force the line to break after com and before /homeless. It works in FireFox and IE7, but not IE8. Or this: http://images.nbii‌.gov/details.php?id=55510&cat=search%20results to force a line break after nbii and before .gov Breaks can look confusing if the width of the page varies, because the citations are in divs styled with: margin-left:20px; text-indent:-20px; line-height:200%; to show hanging indents. I guess I could just set a fixed width for the div and use a break. Or I may resort to a PDF, but thought I'd ask here first. And I thought I might find some folks to commiserate with in my frustration with IE8's lack of rendering of entities.
