Hi,
Thanks bear, for the hth. I've taken your advice and eliminated NS4.75 from my list of browsers. But the subsequent problem is that textarea doesn't seem to be working in NS6 at all.
When I use the wrap attribute for textarea, it behaves as expected in IE (any version). But, in NS6.0, it doesn't seem to even recognise the attribute.
Here's my code:
<html>
<form>
<textarea rows="3" cols="25" wrap="hard" >
</textarea>
</form>
</html>
In IE, my display text wraps around neatly after every 25th char. But in NS6, wrapping doesn't happen at all. After the 26th char is input, the textarea grows a horizontal scroll bar, and the line goes on and on.
What I need is a textarea that will accept 25 (and only 25) chars per row.
Please note that I tried replacing "hard" with "physical", "virtual", and "soft" all to no avail.
I need to know
1) whether textareas (with wrap attribute) are recognized by NS6,
2) if I am wrong in expecting NS to wrap the text automatically.
3) in case the answer to the above is yes, can someone help me with a script that would auto-wrap the text?
Desperate to get this problem solved,
Rhea.
P.S. I am doing my bit of research too, but haven't found a solution yet.
