Long strings of text

yeah, i did notice this bug with shoutbox-4.7. The block width took 70% of the page width, leaving 30% for main contents. Pretty annoying. It should be possible to insert line break after x characters, but im not sure how to do it efficently.

Will look into this

[EDIT 19 Mar 2008] This does not seem to work quite right with IE7. I'm working on a better solution

On possible way to fix this is to use add "overflow: auto;" to the odd and even div style tags in the shoutbox.css. This will add a horizontal scroll bar to blocks with long URL's or run-on text. If you don't like the scroll bar you could just use "overlfow: hidden;" instead.

e.g.

div.shoutbox-even {
  color : #000000;
  padding: 2px;
  background-color : #eee;
  width: 100%;
  overflow: auto;
}

div.shoutbox-odd {
  color : #000000;
  padding: 2px;
  background-color : #fff;
  width: 100%;
  overflow: auto;
}

This looks fixed.
