textarea in Firefox does not wrap

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 20.2008

For a [B]<textarea [/B]rows=”5″ cols =”51″ in [B]Firefox[/B], I can type hundreds of characters without being wrapped, it just keeps going in one-liner, and meantime, the horizontal bar appears.

What I want is the text should wrap into multiple lines with each line carries 51 characters.

How can I achieve it?

(So long the page is large enough, all the text can be displayed, the horizontal or vertical bars should not showup; If the textarea shrinks into a smaller area, then the scroll bars should show up).

Thanks

Scott

@smyhreApr 20.2008 — I'm assuming that you are not putting spaces in there? If you put spaces does it do the same thing? In a form I created if there is no spaces in the characters it produces the same exact thing you are experiencing, but if I actually type real words with spaces it wraps the text as it should. This happens in Fx 2 and 3. Not sure of a real fix other than type real words with spaces.
