Textbox not wrapping in Firefox

[theoryofben]

I'm sure this is an easy fix, but I haven't been able to find the answer.

I have a multi-line textbox with the wrap property set to true. It works great in IE, but in Firefox it scrolls and doesn't wrap. What's the fix for this?

Any and all help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

I think if you set a CSS style of width=100%, add wrap=virtual and set the columns to nothing then it should work e.g.

<textarea cols="" style="width: 100%;" wrap="virtual" />

Actually, that won't work so please ignore that. You'll find that the wrap attribute has been depreciated and wouldn't actually work as I thought (it will wrap text with spaces in fine but not if you put in one large string, which is what I guess you are testing with).

Will your users really be entering very long strings with no spaces in or do you think you could just be worrying about something that may not happen? If you are still looking for a solution, try asking in the HTML forum as they will have a lot more experience.

It's not a huge problem. It's just a text box for the users to enter a description. So it doesn't hurt anything for it to scroll horizontally, but I would prefer that it not. It works great in IE. I'll check out the html forum.

Thanks
