Hi guys,

i have a form with a textarea. how can i wrap the text in the text area? i tried to use wrap=hard but it failed the xhtml validation.

it's something like this posting area. when u reach the right side, it will flow to a new line.

anyway to go around it?

thanks very much.

a textarea will "wrap" to the next line when the length of the "cols" attribute is reached.

thanks chrishirst it works!

earlier on, i tried it by pressing the key "t" all the way non-stop, it just goes all the way to the right :P

One long string of characters won't, because HTML needs a space to break on.

to force-break long strings you would need to use some javascript that monitored the content and checked the length of each "word" every time a change occured. Not a trivial task and would probably be painfully slow in IE.
