Hi.

strange thing:

I have the case, that I need to put a break into a string after a certain lenght.
I was using count_characters to get the string length.

Pitty is, that my string has for example 31 chars, but depending of the fact what letters (how many capitals and lower-case characters) I use, the break sometimes does apear, when it's not needed.

Does anyone know about a method to check how many pixels a string takes?
In order to say something like: "if the string is greater or equal 200px do the break"

Hope to find here some good ideas!

Thanks

The only way I can think of would be to give the HTML element the text is in a fixed lenght and let the browser do the line breaking for you.
