Silke YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 1	Textarea - automatic word-wrap Jul 29th, 2008, 4:26pm   Hello all, I try to create a multiline textarea, where users have the possibility typing by the keyboard. How can I create an automatic word-wrap? Users can press ENTER, this is not the problem, but if the textarea is bounded, the program should break automatically. Is there a possibilty? Thanks for answers!
