content does not stay inside div

Question

I've got a div where the content of the div "escapes" the div.

if for example i put in something like ssssssssssssssssssssss (and so on :P) it just goes over the divs edge instead of breaking and continuing on the next line.

css:

#content {
 position:absolute;
 width: 855px;
 padding: 195px;
 padding-top: 0px;

Answer 1

Add the following to the CSS:

word-wrap: break-word;
