This was originally posted to Google Maps group, but they indicate
this is a css/html issue. I can not prove them wrong especially as
there are other instances of the same or similar coding working on
their site.

The directions text lines in the div set up for directions is not
breaking. The use of CSS
'overflow' has been explored to no avail. Their examples have not
provided any insights.

I need expert opinion which is something I am lacking. Please indicate
what we are doing wrong.

To get to it:

http://rhodeisland-aa.org/tester/meetings/index.htm\

Click "and Go to Meetings" on the left

Select and click any address link on the Right -- Disclaimer appears
-- Click
"Continue"

Enter an address in Text Box at top -- if you are stuck enter
"westerly" -- no quotes.

Click directions.
 
I am interested in this because I spent some time getting Google Maps to
work for me.

I asked some questions here and was told that it was not the right place.

But if it relates to HTML/CSS then I think this NG is relevant

Anyway, the link you gave results in
============================
Missing Link
We're sorry, but we cannot locate the web page you are looking for.
One of the following may help you find what you're looking for:
The main link is www.RhodeIsland-aa.org
The meeting link is www.rhodeisland-aa.org/meetings/index.htm
'today' - current edition www.rhodeisland-aa.org/ricsc/today.htm
============================
The directions to the production site don't seem to get me to the place you
mentioned
 
1) your use of no scroll in the left frame prevents the whole frame from being seen @ 800x600
2) all your direction link go to MapQuest , not Google maps
See

3) post a link to the framed page (w/ parameters if necessary that link to the page w/ Google maps

I suspect it's because you have the table's width at 900px. If you use the
horizontal scroll bar, however, you can see all of the page.
 
I think it's because of the way that text is being written dynamically to
the page, and based on what I see, I don't think there would be a way you
can override it, since the styling is written inline at the time the content
is loaded onto the page.
