Content does not stay inside the div

Question

I have a div where the content of the div "escapes" the div.

if, for example, I insert something like ssssssssssssssssssssssss (and so on: P), it just iterates over the edge of the divs 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 your CSS:

word-wrap: break-word;
