Firefox trouble with textarea

I use a Javascript detect to determine browser type to set the size of the text area dynamically. My problem is that on Firefox, when a user types into the text area, it scrolls left to right but doesn't wrap to the next line when they hit the end of the visible text area.

Here's my code, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

<tr>
<td width="97" valign="top"><nobr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How may we<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;help you?&nbsp;</nobr></td>
<td valign="top">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--

if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1)

document.write('<textarea name="help_you" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea>')<!-- all other pc browsers -->
//-->
</script></td>
</tr>
