Provide a sample if the code you are working with.

What kind of solution are you looking for? How do you want it to behave when you type repetitive characters?

you could try setting a max-height or min-height to your parent div.

<DIV STYLE="WIDTH:200PX;HEIGHT:AUTO;BORDER:1PX SOLID BLACK;MARGIN:20PX;">
    HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAOVERFLOWS
</DIV>

<DIV STYLE="WIDTH:200PX;HEIGHT:AUTO;BORDER:1PX SOLID BLACK;MARGIN:20PX;">
    SAME DIV BUT TYPING WIDTH SPACES AND NORMAL DOESNT OVERFLOW
</DIV>

Ok, see with the example code and pictures, it makes it a lot easier to understand what you are asking, at least i think i understand.

What you are saying is that you would like the content in the first div to fit within the div element like in the second div example. If that is the case, just use the word-wrap property.

<DIV STYLE="WIDTH:200PX;HEIGHT:AUTO;BORDER:1PX SOLID BLACK;MARGIN:20PX;word-wrap:break-word;">
    HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAOVERFLOWS
</DIV>
<DIV STYLE="WIDTH:200PX;HEIGHT:AUTO;BORDER:1PX SOLID BLACK;MARGIN:20PX;">
    SAME DIV BUT TYPING WIDTH SPACES AND NORMAL DOESNT OVERFLOW
</DIV>
