@UltimaterFeb 22.2005 — with myobject.style.wordWrap

for example:

<textarea ID="myobject" style="wordWrap: normal;">

...

</textarea>

<script>

var timerID=null

function ONLD(){

clearTimeout(timerID)

if(typeof blah=="undefined")timerID=setTimeout("ONLD()",1)

LD()

}

ONLD()

function LD(){

alert(myobject.style.wordWrap)

}

</script>


wordWrap can have a string-value of either

"normal" or "break-word"

this value can also be assigned via javascript:

document.getElementById("myobject").style.wordWrap="break-word"

Success!
