Auto Wrap on Input Field

Hello,

If I have an input field as such:

Code:
 <input class="myClass" type="text" name="test">

and CSS class:
Code:
   .myClass{
width: 200px;
}

Is there any way with CSS, to have the text auto-wrap when text hits the right hand side? Rather than auto scrolling to the right, pushing the text on the screen to the left.

Also, it is possible to have it as a single line and then auto expand vertically downward? Without JS is preferred, but it may be impossible :)

Other than textarea, I don't even think any html form controls that you can write in allow more than one line of input. So, the answer to your question would be no.

If you use textarea, you could use javascript to expand the textarea to fit all the text in and textarea by default wraps text.

I figured as much.
