Details

Load the following html into the viewer app (Win32, VC++6.0, NT4.0, optimized build) and type words into the textarea. When you get to the right margin the text doesn't wrap. The same is true with WRAP="HARD". <html> <form> <body> <TEXTAREA COLS=40 ROWS="4" WRAP="SOFT"></TEXTAREA> </form> </body> </html>
Although it doesn't change the behavior, the previous html was invalid. Here's the corrected text. <html> <body> <form> <TEXTAREA COLS=40 ROWS="4" WRAP="SOFT"></TEXTAREA> </form> </body> </html>
Paul, where did you find the wrap attribute. I can't find it in the html 4 spec.
It's not valid HTML 4 but it is supported in earlier browsers. This is a duplicate bug, I believe... investigating...
