Hello, I am have a div and inside of that div I have a textarea. There
is nothing else in the div. The text in the textarea will come from a
database so it needs to be able to wrap and grow as necessary. I've
tried a whole bunch of permutations and I'm not having any luck. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Here's the code:
HTML:
<div class='desc'><t extarea class='desc_tex t'>blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
</textarea></div>
CSS:
..desc
{
height: auto;
min-height: 14px;
background: #FFFFFF;
border: 0px solid #000000;
border-left-width: 1px;
font: 11px tahoma;
padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
margin: 0px;
float: left;
overflow: auto;
width: 225px;
text-align: left;
}
..desc_text
{
width: 220px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 13px;
font: 11px tahoma;
border: 0px;
}

Is the text a useful _default value_ for an input field? If not, it should
not appear as textarea content. You might need to reconsider the idea, and
the technical side could become completely different, since textarea
elements are rather idiosyncratic, in implementations .
By HTML definition, textarea content _should not_ auto-wrap but it should
appear exactly as written. Are you sure you should _rely_ on CSS for
defeating this by-design feature? (Browsers are known to auto-wrap by
default, but you can rather reliably defeat this misfeature by using the
nonstandard attribute wrap="off".)
I've tried a whole bunch of permutations and I'm not having any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's the code:
You are not explaining what you wish to accomplish - and why. If the
textarea content is a meaningful default value, why shouldn't it be rendered
as written, especially considering the fact that line breaks may matter?
width: 220px;
- - font: 11px tahoma; border: 0px;
Wrong approach. User input, if anything, should adapt to the user-selected
font size. Hence, setting a width in pixels is wrong, too.

Jukka - thank you very much for your reply. I obviously wasn't
thinking about my problem in the right way and you have set me
straight! I'm scraping the textarea altogether. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Apparently "wrap" is deprecated or not allowed for html 4.01, any
suggestions on what I should use instead?

I am trying to write a script that changes a textarea wrap realtime,
basically like you can switch to and from "wordwrap" in Microsofts
Notepad. Because of a bug
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302710), FireFox does not
listen to the textarea.wrap = 'soft' command. Because I want the script
to be cross-browser compatible, someone suggested to remove and
immediately add a node to the DOM, so I now have:

I've got a div whose width is specified as a percentage so that if you
shrink the browser window, the div shrinks, and the text inside the div
wraps around to accommadate this. The problem is: if I put a really
long word (like a web address) in the div, then it props the rest of
the text open to the width of the word, and the text can't wrap past
that width; but if I shrink the browser window, the div also shrinks

Hi,
I want to do something that I thought would be simple but i cant seem
to work it out, perhaps someone out there could help me.
I want to browse for a file (it will be a word document), save the file
name to a string and then at some later stage open that file with word.
The operating system will be windows 2000 (dont know if that makes a
difference or not).

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
