So I went and bought a laptop and signed up for the Verizon broadband wireless ... and I get almost no signal at home. I'm currently in Borders - where it took me 45 @!#%@!!!! minutes to get on their free wifi. This isn't working out quite like I hoped ....
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So... anyone know anything about turning on/off horizontal word wrap in an HTML textarea?
So far, I've found if I add
textarea { white-space: pre; }
to the page's stylesheet, then the horizontal word wrap gets turned off. But then it's impossible to enter more than one line (i.e. a carriage return does not produce a new line when horizontal word wrap is turned off.
So:
- How do I turn horizontal word wrap off yet allow the user to use a carriage return to produce a new line?
- If I get that to work, how do I use Javascript to turn the horizontal word wrap on and off?
- Why does the above code work in a stylesheet but if I do the same thing in the textarea tag like so:
<textarea name='txtNote2' rows='14' cols='93' white-space: pre;>
it doesn't work?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
you have to do:
<textarea name='txtNote2' rows='14' cols='93' style='white-space: pre;'>

That works! Thanks Tom. Any idea on how to allow the user to force new lines when wordwrap is off?

I am in desperate need of a new laptop. Several years of heavy use and occasional dropping on the floor are taking its toll. This one has been running quite slowly, and I don't know whether that would be the RAM or the speed of the processor. Any easy way I can find out what's responsible for the sluggishness?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Do you periodically run a virus checker and a malware checker?

Yep, both of those.

Is that the disk cleanup and defragmentation tools in the control panel? I do that a lot too.
