html 4.01 Validation Question

alternative to wrap attribute

[keyplyr]

wrap="virtual" is not Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional says W3C Validator. Is there another attribute that serves this function for <textarea>?
Thanks

Just don't use it. No ill effects as far as I know. If I recall correctly, NN 3 was the only one that needed it?

Well, it depends on whether the width of the text area is critical for the CGI output or not.

But, you can always add a little thingy to the script that line breaks after n characters .. That way you don't have to worry about the browser formatted line breaks at all ..

And, since the number of characters per line differs from one browser to another, that's another reason why you should get rid of it entirely.
