I finally got TinyMCE to work beautifully and now am trying to  
understand how I will bound my users’ from not pushing the HTML beyond  
the borders that I grant them.

For example, if I type;

9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

It goes off the edge of the

 space I have defined for this  
element.  
Is there a way to still grant them the HTML they produced as a result  
of using this editor and keep them from going off the edge?

Thanks,  
David

What I have is something like this in my css:

.post-message {  
word-break: break-all;  
}

That does it for me…
