Leave things to me. JK is my responsibility. I am here on earth and my role is to absorb all the suffering and humiliation for everyone else so that they can be free and happy. So go and be happy. Leave me to do my noble job. Now, shall I go back to my work or shall I take another enjoyable romp into the CSS 2.1 Appendix E? I will decide after I post this. Leave it to me. -- dorayme

Well, you use script to generate it so you can use some like this (betwenn <nobr> and </nobr> it is single line) <nobr>http://domain.com/<wbr>some_very_large_<wbr>text_here/<wbr>and_some_other_<wbr>here</nobr> -- Petr Vileta, Czech republic (My server rejects all messages from Yahoo and Hotmail.

Much more than half of the world uses hyphen-minus in the function of minus sign, so the browser behavior is wrong for this reason, too. Moreover, the breaking problem also applies to things like "The constant EOF is defined as (-1)", where it would be quite inappropriate to use a minus sign, even though the expression refers to a negative number. -- Jukka K.
