[RESOLVED] Vertical not Horizontal

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 04.2007

I Have a description field that Im printing into a DIV

<div style=”width:100%;Overflow:auto;margin-bottom:-5px;”>
<%# Eval(“sComment”) %>
</div>

I want the Field to be displayed with carriage returns when the Length is too long Horizontally. A carriage return will display the text downwards but if there is none in a length of characters it overflows sideways

E.g
This
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Instead of
V Stop Here
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Can I enforce this in CSS?

the fff's are an example this sentence could be used to replace them? see when i keep typing this jumps to the new line, I know that this is a text area. Overflow stretches hides or scrolls why not break a line? Rather than I loop that checks length and inserts a line break.
