horizontal scroll bar

[Maverickb7]

does anyone know how I could make the words wrap when inputted within a textfield. Sometimes I have a long url and it makes a horizontal scrollbar appear making it look somewhat ugly. Does anyone know how I can avoid this?

i didnt no text boxes did scroll bars :S

if your refering to a txt area... try this

[code]<textarea name="textfield" wrap="VIRTUAL">TEXT-HERE</textarea>[/code]

Yeah sorry about that I meant textarea. I'll give that a try.

Does not work.

try specifiying the actual width you want:
[code]
<textarea name="textfield" rows="1" cols="20" wrap="virtual"></textarea>
[/code]

have u got the url for the site because the wrapping should stop the scroll bars

Actually the url is behind a password protected area. Just try copying a large url into a textarea and you'll see what I'm talking about.

wordwrap only works if there is breaks in the text ie, "how are you doing...." won't wrap "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....." maybe some CSS could remedy that
