Re^7: A call to keyboards: Better chatterbox wrapping (test case)

I tested <span></span> in FireFox 0.8 and 1.0. It certainly didn't wrap (my nodelets where wider than my screen, much less my browser window).

Here is a test case:

TheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisitionTheSpanishInquisition

If you view this node directly and you don't see horizontal scroll bars, then your browser is likely wrapping <span></span>.

Interesting. Firefox does break up such markup, but only into two lines and no more, and then only if the browser window is very narrow. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

If the contents of a <foo> / </foo> set are empty, isn't a browser allowed to discard them? Just going from memory, though. --MidLifeXis	[reply]

Only if it is really completely empty, ie not even blanks or breaks or any other whitespace. That much, at least, I know for sure… Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

Which was the context of this part of the thread - using <span></span> to have a browser split the text. --MidLifeXis	[reply]
