Text straying outside the container

    I have a two column site that I'm working on. When I type text into either the left or right column it won't adjust to fit, it just keeps going in a straight line right outside the column.

    Any suggestions for fixing this? I've been working on it all day and I'm about ready to pull my hair out. It seems like such a simple thing but of course it's not working when I do it.

    Is there some kind of trick to make sure the text adjusts to fit the container it's in?

    Word wrap is the default behavior, usually. So let's assume you have some odd combinations going for you. Show us the code, or post a link to your test case.

    cheers,

    Thanks for the reply, I actually ended up scraping the whole design and starting over. It works fine now, but I still haven't a clue what was wrong before.
