breaking up addition name text with <br> to put it onto 2 lines

[balancedview]

Hi,

I'm trying to break up a long addition name so that it goes onto 2 lines rather than one long line. It's going onto my shopping basket page.
At the moment I have a shortened version of how I want it:

'Are you Posting your old glasses to us so we can check your PD Measurement?'

This fits well onto the page but the longer version that I actually want:

'Are you Posting your old glasses to us so we can check your Pupillary Distance (PD) Measurement?'

...stretches the page so I tried to break it up by using the <br> tag:

'Are you Posting your old glasses to us so we <br> can check your Pupillary Distance (PD) Measurement?'

...but instead of appearing like this:

'Are you Posting your old glasses to us so we
can check your Pupillary Distance (PD) Measurement?'

on the page, it appeared something like this:


'Are you Posting
your old glasses
to us so we
can check
your Pupillary
Distance (PD)
Measurement?'

Hope someone can help me with this,

Regards,

Hi Iain - Try using <br /> instead of <br> (note the space between the r and the /) Greg

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your message. I tried the <br /> but it had the same result. A (bluepark) mystery!

Regards,

Iain

Hi Iain - Yes I've been playing around with it and nothing seems to make any difference. It's to do with the width of the element which holds the addition - fine without any code in it but collapses with the <br> code. If I think of anything I'll let you know. Cheers Greg

Thanks Greg,

I appreciate your help,

I've got a similar problem and the <br> or <br /> does not really work, especially as the BP added ":" looks really out of place. Any suggestions or examples on how to deal with long additions names?
Problem page is here http://www.1066pools.co.uk/hot-tub-a...tub-cover.html , the page is part complete but I'm stuck on the options. I had this issue in drop down lists quite a while that Rich sorted for me but was hoping there is a nice easy solution out there?
