<BR> tag with innerHTML problem

[xoinki]

hi all,
I have a very large string with no space and i am putting that in a table cell.
1) Problem is that it does not wrap if a string does not have space in between and i want to force wrap it since an ugly horizontal scrollbar is coming inspite of proper percentage width assigned to the respective <thead>.

2) So a workaround which we found was to break the large string at regular intervals and add <BR> in between so that it wraps. but after assigning this string to an innerHTML it does not seems to recognise BR and string is rendered without <BR> in an improper manner.

anybody has come across this type of problem?

Please help

waiting for your reply,
Xoinki

Break the string with spaces and it will wrap in the cell

function spaceWrap(str,n){
	var A= [];
	while(str.length>n){
		A.push(str.substring(0,n));
		str= str.substring(n);
	}
	return A.join(' ')+' '+str;
}

//test
var str=document.do cumentElement.i nnerHTML.replac e(/\s+/g,'')
spaceWrap(str,1 0);
