My css:

div#test {
width:90%; 
z-index:1; 
padding:27.5px; 
border-top: thin solid #736F6E;
border-bottom: thin solid #736F6E;
color:#ffffff;
margin:0 auto;
}

Im trying to get it to wrap in all broswer types?

The other problem im wondering is if you look at the first image and a cropted image below I would also like to try add an X plus comment and img (hyperlinks) to each div like so:

For the first issue, this should do the trick:

white-space: pre;
white-space: pre-wrap;
white-space: pre-line;
word-wrap: break-word;

The order of those is important, for CSS2/CSS2.1/CSS3 progressive enhancement.

For the second issue, it's possible, sure, but semantically it depends what the image is of. If it's not content-related, then use background-image: url('somepath/someimage.png');. Otherwise use an img tag in the HTML.

First part of your question sounds like you need to use CSS word-wrap:

#test {
    word-wrap: break-word;
}

See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/CSS/Word-wrap for more info.

Also see http://caniuse.com/#search=word-wrap for browser support details (it's pretty much universally supported, so no problems there).

For the second part of the question, you should set the container <div> to position:relative;. Then you can use position:absolute; for the elements within it that you want to be in fixed positions, and position them with top, bottom, left and right as applicable.

For your first question, try adding word-wrap: break-word;.

For your second question, you could try using the CSS :after pseudo selector (IE 8+ only) but I think you'd be much better off doing this with JavaScript (i.e. after the DOM loads, iterate over each row and create/append some new tags) - jQuery could make this quite simple.
