Text wrapping in an absolutely positioned element with no width

Question

I have an element structure like this:

<div><span></span>My text goes here</div>

both the div and span are positioned absolutely i want the div to expand out to a certain point then wrap to the next line after say 200px.

At the moment the text breaks pretty much after every other word to a new line, i can fix this by using white-space: nowrap however this stops the text from wrapping at all.

How can i get the text the wrap but after a certain width?

Answer 1

我不知道我是否知道，但是为什么你不只是把div宽度：200px ;？
