Multi Line Textbox not wrapping in Firefox 1

[theoryofben]

Hello All.

I have an .NET multi line textbox that I have set to wrap and not scroll horizontally. It works great in IE, but in Firefox it just keeps scrolling. I was thinking it must be an easy fix, but I havent' found it yet.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Can you show the client-side code that is generated by your .net control?

Ok, here is the code

<Asp:Textbox id="descr" CssClass="fborder" Runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Wrap=True Width="70%" Height="150" />

And here is the rendered HTML in Firefox

<textarea name="descr" id="descr" class="fborder" style="height:150px;width:70%;"></textarea>

What text are you inserting? It's my understanding that text will only wrap at a break (so space, CR/LF, punctuation, etc).

The behavior in IE is that it wraps with no horizontal scroll bars period. But with Firefox, it will only wrap at a break.

So, is it possible to make it behave in Firefox as it does in IE? This isn't a huge deal, but it's just annoying to me.

Thanks

Nope, while IE supports the word-break css property, FF has nothing similar to work with. A long string of text without breaks will always stay in one line in FF. Why do you need such a long line of text without breaks anyway?

Thanks for the info. It's not a big deal at all, but I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something.

Thanks.
