Try "white-space: pre-wrap" .

 

Thank you for your reply.But it doesn't work.Have any idea?

 

Can you post a link?

 

You need to say what "doesn't work" with pre. In general, the pre tag should work in IE, though I have noticed that I'll need to manually make line breaks in code to keep long lines fitting on the web page (difference seems due to font sizes).

The purpose of <pre> is to preserve whitespace. Is IE not doing that?

Normally pre is
white-space: nowrap;
by default but you can add it manually.

Are you sure you don't have a conflict where something else is set to
word-wrap: break-word;
?

This is a (previously) IE only command (now that it's been added to CSS3, Safari supports it now as well).
