Table wrap

I recently converted from a simple to advanced XML view for a parametrized search.
I would like to get the results (displayed in a SimplerResultsTable as of now) to word wrap.
The lines in the table are exceedingly long and impossible to print clearly without getting word wrap working.

I've tried using the SoftWrap option
Search

source="forechange" user="$user$" summary="$summary$"

        <module name="ViewstateAdapter">
          <module name="HiddenFieldPicker">
            <param name="strictMode">True</param>
            <module name="JobProgressIndicator"/>
            <module name="Paginator">
              <param name="count">10</param>
              <param name="entityName">results</param>

              <module name="SoftWrap" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1">

                <module name="SimpleResultsTable">
                  <param name="fields">_time,user,desc,summary,details</param>

and updating the CSS with

.SimpleResultsTable table.simpleResultsTable {
    white-space:normal;
 }

Neither appears to be working. What am I doing wrong?

Create the CSS file under etc/apps/myapp/appserver/static/.
Also, you need to include the CSS file in your dashboard. Edit the first XML line as follows: dashboard stylesheet="formatting.css"
