wrap text in text area box

[Guest]

I have several discussion boards on my site. since upgrading to fp '03,
wrapping has disappeared.

Can anyone tell me how to set the "textarea box" to wysiwyg once it's
posted? My main concern is to get paragraphs and spacing working again....

Kinda like the way text is showing in this inquire.


thanks for any help you can give me.

Can you provide an URL?

The only way is to use the <pre> tag formatting

I tried that, but poster's messages turned into one long line....

That is the problem with <pre> formatting - if the poster does not use
any carriage returns, the text will not wrap. If they do, then the
text will wrap at the carriage return.
If you do not use <pre> formatting, then the text will wrap to fit the
page, but carriage returns will be treated as ordinary spaces. Your
choice - get six of one, or a half dozen of the other.

To get the best of both worlds, you have to write your own scripts, or
look for a third party package that will be supported by your web
host.
