I have a links module in the left pane.  The width of the pane stretches to the width of the longest link name in the list.  Is there any way to make the long link names wrap?  I want to end up with a fixed pane width.
I'm a way-newbie, so sorry if this has been asked a million times - I couldn't find anything on it searching this forum.

Thanks!

I don't know what your skin is like but you could try this:
#dnn_Leftpane{
    width:200px;
}

In one of your skins CSS files

Thanks Timo.  I tried this in my site settings stylesheet editor, and it did not change the width of the pane.  So far, the length of the link names seems to be the sole determiner of the pane width.  Any other ideas?  This seems like it should be a fairly common problem.

I searched out all of the skin.css files and they were all already set to 175px.

One thing I tried, which is a hack is to type in an html BR tag where you want it to wrap. The problems are: 1) a hard-coded wrap location 2) it might screw up Export/Import functions, but I never tested it.

Anyway, just a suggestion.
