Making a <DIV> go vertically like MultiLine Textbox

Hi I have a div tag! It should work in the way a multiline textbox
would work

Here is the code I am using:

<div style='WIDTH: 383px; HEIGHT: 200px; position:relative; OVERFLOW-Y:
Auto'>Sample Sample Sample Sample Sample Sample</div>

But no matter what I do, it doesn't want to work vertically
There is no Horizontically scrollbar, but the text go horizontically
like this

d= div

ddddddddddddddddddddddddd
d d
d Sample Sample Sample d Sample Sample Sample Sample Sample Sample
Sample
d d
dddddddddddddddddddddddd

I want it like this:

ddddddddddddddddddddddddd
d Sample Sample Sample d
d Sample Sample Sample d
d Sample Sample Sample d
d d
ddddddddddddddddddddddddd
