From: Ronx on 26 Jan 2010 02:26 A text box is a single line. Full stop. A text area will automatically wrap when the user types to the end of the visible space - this does not, however, add a line feed. To add a line feed after a preset number of characters, as I said in an earlier post, you need server side scripting which parses the data, and adds the line feed at the required intervals. Of course, this is complicated by needing to account for spaces between words - and avoiding the line feed in the middle of a word. What you want is a simple text editor - and those possible, but are NOT easy to construct using web scripting languages (asp.NET, asp, PHP) on the server, or using Javascript on the client browser before the form is submitted.. Unless you *really* need a limited line length, the easiest way is to not do anything for the form data, but deal with how it is rendered in whatever you use it for. For a guestbook type application - set the area the data is displayed in to a limited size. Perhaps you should explain what you are looking for, and how the results will be used- an easy solution may be at the end of the processing chain rather than at the beginning. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.
