<div>
word-wrap is a CSS3 selector and as far as I'm aware of, it should be supported by modern browsers including Webkit Google Chrome and Safari.<br />
<br />
The example code below has been tested and works well for me on Safari, Chrome, IE and FF<br />

<pre><code id="code-1294608">&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN&quot; &quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd&quot;&gt;
&lt;html xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot; &gt;
&lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;Example&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
    &lt;div style=&quot;width:50px;border:solid 1px red;word-wrap:break-word;&quot;&gt;
        VeryLongWordThatShouldBreak
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
