CSS DIV with words

[NZ_Kiwis]

I have a DIV tag with a black background and a width or 400px. If I have a sentence in there which is longer than 400px wide how can I get it to wrap around????

Text usually wraps anyway, unless you've styled it differently.

I have not given my div a width because it floats to the left of something. It sits nicely until I put a long sentence in there and the it moves down??

So give it a width.

If you have not given it a width, how does it have a width of 400px? If you want something, anything, in a webpage to be the same size at all time, simply define that size and it will abide. If you want to prevent it from getting taller you can use overflow: hidden in the style and define a specific height.
