Anyone see that? The message body just spreaded horizontally in one-line-style. Is there anyway to prevent it? Or format the output?

Okay, just type something in the textarea, highlight your message,rightclick, copy,paste it for a few times and you might get the same effect.

P/S: Sorry for abusing the forum

Thank you

I see it wrapping fine in all instances but one. If someone leaves a comment that's incredibly long and has no spaces or hyphen, the browser won't wrap it. There are certain characters that cause the browser to wrap long lines of text, and these are two of them (not sure of they're the ONLY two).

What you may want to do is write a little routine to traverse the user's input and insert a space or a hyphen if one is not found within a certain number of characters. This way you'll be ensured of the proper look no matter what the user might type in.
