Long links especially will always overlap the CSS div, example the link Megan gave above over laps the div, the code JeevesBond gave overlaps the div.
On a fixed layout the only real way is to use smaller font size or scroll it for long links, div's within div's need to be set within the parents dimensions

It sounds like you haven't set the width of the div in your CSS. For instance, if you have this DIV:

<div id="header">
    ... content ...
</div>

then, in your CSS you could have:

#header {
    width: 10em;
}

'
That should cause the text to wrap when it reaches a width of 10em (em is a related to character size, if you design using em your layouts will change according to how big or little the user has their font size set to). If you're a little mystified/uncomfortable with em you can start with px or % until you feel ready to experiment.

If you're still unsure then do as Megan suggested: Post a link and we'll have a look.

This do's it.

What do you mean the text is longer than the div? How are you specifying the size of the div? If you put up a link to what you've got it might be easier to help.

You could also look at the overflow property:
