'Text Wrapping' problem

Hi

I'm having a problem with displaying a lesson (using branch tables). many of the descriptions and responses are long... and both are stretching off screen when displayed. Here's a screen shot:

I've been searching for a solution for this - have tried starting from scratch using notepad cut and paste but it's still happening. Any ideas? I'm using Moodle 1.9.7

thanks

Al,

Have you tried changing the Lesson Formating (Update lesson) to slideshow mode?
May help it wrap?

You could also try this css in the theme:

div.branchbuttoncontainer {
overflow: auto;
max-width: 700px;
}

or something similar. That will add scrollbars to the button div if the buttons get too wide...

Thanks - tried slideshow mode but was also failing to wrap.
I'm not sure where to do the css thing - I have a call in to colleagues on the other side of the atlantic!

I think it might be connected with the fact that I am using multilanguage <span...> tags.

I have found a workaround for now anyways:

in the Page Contents, adding <div style="width: 640px;">my content<div>

That fixes if for the 'question' in the branch table, but not the responses

For the responses (Description 1, 2 etc) I am inserting line breaks.

Not a very beautiful solution but it works and looks OK!

thanks again
