    Browser Word Wrap

    I'm using Winamp as a browser for www.textfiles.com and I've noticed that IE doesn't word-wrap plain text by default (and I can't find a way to make it do).

    The only workaround I've found is creating a CSS file for the Internet Options override that applies word wrapping to everything:

    code:
    *{
    word-wrap: break-word;
    }

    While this works in IE, it doesn't work in Winamp. Apparently the CSS override doesn't apply.

    Am I out of luck?

    God knows why you would want to use winamps browser... but I assume it is a limitation on the core browser in the system. what OS you are using. It might have to do with the IE version that's shipped with it.
    Current Setup: Windows 10 Pro, Sound Blaster Z, Logitech Z-5500, Winamp v5.666.3516

      Winamp respects IE's color and formatting override settings, but not the option to attach a CSS file to govern how pages should be displayed. It also seems to be treating each webpage as if it were being presented in an iframe or a frameset apart from the fact that URLs are properly displayed.

      In fact, the reason I'm using it is precisely because I never use IE and can afford to change IE's color settings. It's a bit of an interactive art project.

        How would you review it on a scale of 1 to 10?. Do you think it actually does its job?
