I have a script with the following line:

<TEXTAREA NAME=desc ROWS=5 COLS=45>$datahash{'desc'}</TEXTAREA>

I would like to insert a WRAP= and I have a question..

Which one of these would I use and what is the difference?:

WRAP=SOFT
WRAP=HARD
WRAP=PHYSICAL

And in the future.. is there a one stop shopping website for questions like this..AND MORE?


Thanks..

can I guess and if I am right.. you owe me a beer.. but not at this hour *grin*

I believe you would go right on ahead and throw that tag info right on in there.

<TEXTAREA NAME=desc ROWS=5 WRAP=PHYSICAL COLS=45>$datahash{'desc'}</TEXTAREA>

You can even get away without defining it and just putting WRAP in the string.

The difference seems to simply be which browser 'invented' the tags.... I prefer physical -- as you get into the older browsers I believe one works for this but not for that... as far as the newer ones I believe they all work http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif
