IE letting URLS break the containing DIV, but FF shows fine. Fix?

So im integrating this Twitter widget into xhtml.

( http://h开发者_C百科elp.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/15354 )

The code is:

<dl id="twitter_update_list"></dl>

...then a couple lines of javascript.

Heres the issue. Why would IE display long urls (links within the list item) as breaking the containing DIV? Meanwhile FF just continues the url onto the next line, nice and clean. Any idea?

Try word-wrap: break-word; in your CSS. It's an IE only property, but I don't see a problem in FF.

Correction: it used to be an IE only property, I see now it's been added to CSS3 and is supported by IE, Safari, and FF.
