As far as I know, control of how text wrap was introduced in CSS3: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#text-wrap
All though, IE has it's own property for this

I think you'll have to pick a different word for your localization. 

Out of curiosity, why can't you change the width of the drop down menu?

  Subject: [WSG] long words not wrapping inside DIV


  HI .

   

  I have a dropdown menu with a width of 150px. while localization some texts 
are too long  and it is not wrapping inside the DIV and going outside the div. 
Is there any way to wrap long words. I don't want to use scrollbars in the div 
and I can't increase the width of the DIV.

   

  Pls help..

   

  Thanks a ton in advance..
