SYMPTOMS
When you type text in a text box created using the TEXTAREA tag on a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) page, the text may not be wrapped correctly. The text may continue to flow toward the right side of the text box and may not break (or wrap) when the text reaches the right side of the text box.



CAUSE
The HTML page does not contain the parameters that activate text wrapping in a text box.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:
 * The author of the HTML page can use the WRAP attribute of the TEXTAREA tag with either the Physical or Virtual value to enable word wrapping.
 * When you are typing in the text box, manually insert line breaks by pressing ENTER to wrap the text.
