CSS cutting a url
Hi does anybody know of a way in CSS to cut a url that is going to be too long and have bad effects on the page layout otherwise. I can see how to use the field shorten global via Links but was wondering if anybody knew a way in CSS to get the text to go to the next line ?

Thanks

John

Hi,

AFAIK, there isn't a way to do this :/

Your best bet, would be the "substr" global, which cuts it off at xx charachters.

John, it's a bit hard to answer without seeing what you are trying to do. Have you got a page or some sample code you can post?

Hi Dave sorry I missed this. I have just used a global to shorten the url if it is above a certain number of characters...

Thanks
