How to keep a text inside a div when resizing the browser window

Question

So I have a simple div in which I have ap with some text. I want the text to stay inside the div, and that is going good so far, but when I resize the window of my browser horizontal, the text inside the div is flowing out of the div on the bottom.

 #textbox { position: absolute; left: 180px; top: 420px; height: 250px; width: 20%; background-color: white; box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); } #text { text-align: center; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; font-style: italic; font-size: 20px; word-wrap: break-word; }

 <div id="textbox"> <p id="text">Here is some example text that is about the same amount as I really have here, but I don't want to reveal what.</p> </div>

According to the answers on similar questions, I have to add word-wrap: break-word; which I already have. If this helps, the text is not flowing out at left or right, it flows out at the bottom.

So my question, what do I do, to keep the text inside the div when I'm moving the browser window?

Answer 1

Just replace height: 250px to min-height: 250px;

 #textbox { position: absolute; left: 180px; top: 420px; min-height: 250px; width: 20%; background-color: white; box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); } #text { text-align: center; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; font-style: italic; font-size: 20px; word-wrap: break-word; }

 <div id="textbox"> <p id="text">Here is some example text that is about the same amount as I really have here, but I don't want to reveal what.</p> </div>

try this style code:

        top: 420px;
        height: auto;
        padding: 20px;
        display: inline-block;
        width: 240px;
        background-color: white;
        box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
    }

    #text {
      text-align: center;
      font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
      font-style: italic;
      font-size: 20px;
      word-wrap: break-word;
