How to break long words in a table td?

Question

This is what I have:

Answer 1

I used:

word-wrap: break-word;
word-break: break-all;
table-layout: fixed;

table-layout: fixed was the key to making it work.

Answer 2

All you need is

word-break:break-all

This works in Chrome 4+, IE 5.5+, FF 15+, Safari 3.1+, and Opera 15+

Answer 3

I think this solution will help you!

pre {
    white-space: pre;           /* CSS 2.0 */
    white-space: pre-wrap;      /* CSS 2.1 */
    white-space: pre-line;      /* CSS 3.0 */
    white-space: -pre-wrap;     /* Opera 4-6 */
    white-space: -o-pre-wrap;   /* Opera 7 */
    white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla */
    white-space: -hp-pre-wrap;  /* HP Printers */
    word-wrap: break-word;      /* IE 5+ */
}

It's been a long time since this was accepted as the best answer and updates are required. See @benhowdle89's and @Steve's answers below.

So the current browser support is now good enough to use word-break in order to allow words to be broken over multiple lines.

word-break: break-all
