Todd, This isn't a huge issue and I can live with it like it is but I just thought I would mention that when Editing LUGNET home pages with Netscape the text does not automatically line-rap like it does in IE. Again not a huge issue for me although (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Just tried this with Netscape 6 and confirmed that the editing box does not wrap lines. Kinda ironic - something working at LUGNET with IE but not Netscape... :) (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Well, it's actually _not_ supposed to wrap in the case of these edit boxes. There is an "extension" attribute WRAP= for <TEXTAREA> but it's not defined as part of the actual HTML 3.2 (or even HTML 4.01) standard. Here's what 4.01 has to say: (...)

(...) That's right -- they're not supposed to wrap automatically. As near as I can figure, BTW, MSIE is not broken in this regard because the WRAP= attribute of the <TEXTAREA> tag is not part of the HTML 3.2 or 4.01 standard and thus the two (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
