textarea wrap problem

[Bryan T]

Greetings all,

I've searched a lot but can't find an answer...

I've made one of those blog comment entry forms (php), and all works well EXCEPT if you hold a key down long enough to create a string of characters
that is longer than the width of the entry field.

When I hold a key down, creating a hugely long string,
the subsequent echo'ed display goes in one long uninterrupted string,
straight out of the div and off the page.

I've tried wrap=virtual and a couple of other attributes.
I've tried putting the echo'ed comments in a <div> with a
specified width. Nothing works.

I realize that it's unlikely that anyone entering a comment will
actually do that, but I'd like to prevent it from happening.

HTML 101, or????

Thanks.

wordwrap might come in handy.

YES!!!

I'll have a go at adjusting the parameters, but that definitely
is much better!

THANKS!
