WORD WRAP CSS:
word-wrap: normal | break-word
 

Syntax

word-wrap: normal|break-word;

Description:

This property specifies whether the current rendered line should break if the content exceeds the boundary of the specified rendering box for an element (this is similar in some ways to the ‘clip’ and ‘overflow’ properties in intent.) This property should only apply if the element has a visual rendering, is an inline element with explicit height/width, is absolutely positioned and/or is a block element.

Examples

div { word-wrap: break-word }
<div style=”word-wrap: break-word”>Here is some content for the div element</div>
Value Description
normal Break words only at allowed break points
break-word Allows unbreakable words to be broken

Javascript Syntax:

object.style.wordWrap=”break-word”

Example

Issue in ie ?  Issue with SPAN tag ? Anchor tag?

Add display :block; property to style to fix the ISSUE:: ENJOY..
