Control Width Issue

As an Asp.Net server control, the Membership Manager Control includes a width property that defines its normal width on your administrative web page.  If you set the control to a narrow width and have members with very long Email addresses, you may encounter an issue where the width of the control expands beyond its specified size.

 

Long passwords without a word break do not wrap in HTML


As illustrated below, a long Email address without any word break characters (spaces) does not word wrap in HTML. This causes the control to expand beyond its intended control width.



 

Notice the slight ridge of the control’s outside border. The control renders as HTML and therefore has the limitations of HTML tables, divs and other formatting elements. In the case of users with very long Email addresses, there is really nowhere to break the line.

We decided against introducing random spaces or characters that would allow line breaking to occur.

Recommendation

Set the control width to the maximum size possible or place it onto a page that allows for "growth".
