Fixing overflow for IE

On one of our University's internal sites, we have a module for creating coursework, with a window that pops up, like this.

Originally, the text would run out of that window. I corrected it by applying the following styles:

span { white-space: initial; }

This seems to work in Chrome and FireFox, but the text still overflows in IE.

For IE, I've tried overflow and word-wrap, but I haven't had any success.

Any suggestions on what I might add to get it to work in IE?

Thanks!

Hi William,

Have you got to the bottom of this ?

If not is there any way you can set up a Workspace or Codepen with the HTML for the box and the CSS to so I can take a look?

Is the span positioned absolute?
