I cannot get word-wrap to work with this example...

<html>
<head></head>
<body>

<table style="table-layout:fixed;">
<tr>
<td style="word-wrap: break-word; width:100px;">ThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrapThisStringWillNotWrap</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body></html>

I remembered reading that a layout had to be specified (which I did), but beyond that I'm not sure what I have to do to get this to work. I really would like this to work in Firefox. Thanks.

EDIT: Failed in Chrome 19 and Firefox 12, it works in IE8. I tried doctype strict and transitional, neither worked.

Mozilla Firefox solution

Add:

display: inline-block;

to the style of your td.

Webkit based browsers (Google Chrome, Safari, ...) solution

Add:

display: inline-block;
word-break: break-word;

to the style of your td.

Note: Mind that, as for now, break-word is not part of the standard specification for webkit; therefore, you might be interested in employing the break-all instead. This alternative value provides a undoubtedly drastic solution; however, it conforms to the standard.

Opera solution

Add:

display: inline-block;
word-break: break-word;

to the style of your td.

The previous paragraph applies to Opera in a similar way.
