Paragraph stops word-wrapping in Firefox

I am having the toughest time with an iWeb '08 website and text formatting.
In Safari, and IE, the page looks great. In Firefox 2.0.0.12 on both OSX and Windows XP, the paragraph text stops wrapping down the page.

I have scoured Google, and endless forums in a quest for the reason why this is occurring.
Does anyone have any ideas?

They don't appear to be different much, even when look at source code. But the CSS files said something else.
Your good page uses text box with elements class "paragraph_style", it's clearly in NoLimitedDistrict.css file.
Your bad page has text box also with elements class "paragraph_style", but they are wrapped inside an element with class "paragraph Free_Form", you can see it in 10Million_DollarRebate.css file.
I think FF didn't apply the css to the inner elements.
You will have to play around with this problem, try adding a text box in the bad page, copy+paste text from the bad text box to the newly added text box, apply font+style to it,
Leave the bad text box as is, don't delete it yet; publish to a folder and have a look. If the new text box works then you can delete the bad one.
BTW, the text in your good is text, if you can select partial of the text then it is text.

pre div style="word-wrap:break-word" long text /div /pre doesn't force wrap

<pre><div style="word-wrap:break-word">long text</div></pre> works in IE9 but not FireFox 31. Actual returns do wrap text but the text of long paragraphs extends outside the <div>, despite the word-wrap:break-word style. Maybe I'm expecting too much interpretation from <pre>? But I am thinking if IE can handle this, perhaps FireFox could too?

How can I turn off word wrap in the View Source output?

I'm trying to extract HTML from Word and one way to do that is to save the Word file as a .htm file and then View Source in a browser and copy that. But the words are wrapped in the View Source file. I want each paragraph to be all on one line. Is there a setting for the View Source feature that will turn off word wrap?
Once I have that done and copied into a plain text editor, I will use Search>Replace to get rid of all the stuff Word puts there and just end up with the simple paragraph tags at the end of each paragraph, all on one line.

You can disable wrapping and syntax highlighting in the View menu in the Edit > View Source window.

Text area and Word Wrapping

I am creating a email form and am having problems with word
wraping in the text area. You can view the page and the output if
you put your email address in the form. The problem is the text
areas word wrap when inputting your information but all formatting
is lost in the email. Even if I add spacing for paragraphs. All
data is just a big run on sentence.
Here is the
Page.
I am using Dreamweaver * and php.
Thanks

Someone may have tried this because I received this output in
an email. You can see the formattint is lost.

Prob with fixed column widths and word wrapping in viewer

i have a report where each record has a very long paragraph of text in it.
In desktop and plus, the text column is at a fixed width and the text just wraps nicely according to the column width.
But in Viewer, the column widths do not stay fixed, the text does not wrap, and the long text is displayed in a single line that completely stretches the column width off the page and requires a horizontal scroll bar.
is there anyway to fix the column width in viewer, have the text naturally wrap, and prevent the column stretching. All word wrapping settings are on, but seem to have no effect. I can't seem to find any solution to this.
Thanks...

Hi Pritam,
Per my understanding that you can't see the vertical scrollbar of the ReportViewer controls 2012 to scroll for the grid rows, but can see the vertical scrollbar of the web application, you also can't fix the headers while scrolling, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can't reproduce your issue, but you have an alternative way to add some css to the web form's source code to display the vertical scrollbar.
Details information below for your reference:
Please check below properties setting of the reportviewer which control the visibility of the scrollbar:
AsyncRendering="true"
SizeToReportContent="false"
Please check if this problem also occur on other version of IE and other type of browser.
Please check if you have done correct setting of the Fix data to freeze the table header as the step of below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934257(v=sql.100).aspx
If step1 doesn't work, please click the source of webform.aspx and add below CSS to add the vertical scrollbar manually:
#ReportViewer1 {
overflow-y: scroll;
Run the application you will see it display as below:

Word wrap problems in 36.0

When entering text into a web form the text no longer "wraps" at the end of the box. The first part of the text runs off the left side. It is working fine in THIS text entry box but is now a problem on some other sites.
See: http://www.thedirectoryclassifieds.com. Start placing a listing and then start entering text into the description box. Once you reach the end of the line the text does not wrap, just runs off the left side as typing continues. After this testing, just exit (back out) without continuing placing the listing.
When encountering this problem I did a test on another computer that had 35.0.1 and word wrapping worked fine. Then I upgraded to 36.0 on that computer and now the problem is there too.
So this definitely means a problem with 36.0 as it wasn't there in earlier versions.

That particular form control has:
<textarea id="main_description" name="b[description]" '''style="white-space: pre;"''' class="editor field"></textarea>
For the first time in Firefox 36, the white-space property is being honored for textarea controls. So there's your trouble: "pre" means Firefox should emulate the preformatted tag, which requires manual line breaks.
It would be great if you can convince the site to change this to:
<textarea id="main_description" name="b[description]" '''style="white-space: pre-wrap;"''' class="editor field"></textarea>
which is supported by all modern browsers (per the compatibility table here: [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/white-space#Browser_compatibility]).
But that likely will take some time, so what is the best short-term workaround? I need to think about that a bit.
To manually hack this form control, you can right-click it and choose Inspect Element (Q). This should open the web console to the Inspector in the lower part of the tab. Firefox should highlight the HTML tag I listed first above, and on the right, show the style rules for it. Under "This Element" you can uncheck the box for that rule to have the textarea styled using default rules. But you would need to do this after each time you load the page, which is a hassle.

Word wrap seems to expand.

I have noticed for quite a while now that with some emails I reply to that my written txt goes off the page ie is does not stop at the edge of the screen and wraps, it carries on for several words and then comes back. its as if the word wrap feature has expanded. Has anyone else found this.
Thanks in advance

anyone?

Word wrap not working in office 365

After the latest version upgrade to Firefox 28, word wrap functionality is not working correctly in office 365 owa. Email tries to compose all on one line. Have tried updating Java and resetting Firefox back to default settings.

Office 365 is an entire suite inlcuding outlook. Outlook Web App light version does work because the interface uses frames.

Word wrapping engine

is there a way to turn off the "word wrapping engine"? it is really causing me alot of headaches! Thanks!

I am taking forms and opening them in the Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro, when i am trying to modify the text that somehow gets added in the transition between the word form and opening it in Acrobat The "Error: Unknown document name" shows up and it isnt from the original so i am trying to delete it, and when i use the touch up tool, this word wrap engine appears and i cant stop it or find out how to stop it but it seems to make it so when i do delete it I can not get the other text to work properly and it seems that the "wrapping" gets off kilter. I have attached a screen shot, hopefully it helps you.

Word Wrap Around?

Okay.
I'm editing my MA thesis and my chair wants me to use "word wrap around" and "left justify."
I have never heard of either of these. He works in word and does not know anything about Pages as he has never used it. I can say the same thing about Word myself, so to each their own.
Does anyone know how to achieve that effect in Pages?
What he wants it to do is not break up words, but not for me to do it manually.
Any formatting ideas?

*Word Wrap around* is an odd expression. It could be either +word wrap+ which is what Pages does naturally, which is start a new line when it runs out of room on the end of the line, or he could mean +no hyphenation+.
If it is the later you will need to set that in:
+Inspector > Text (T) > More > "Remove hyphenation for paragraph"+ with the text selected.
*Left justify* is just simply +Align left+, again in the Text tab (the 1st option in the Alignments buttons) or on the toolbar. Unless he means Justify which is align both sides of the text to the margins and spread out the words in between (the 4th option in the Alignments buttons).

Why does anchoring break word wrap?

I have a 200+ page typical book--one big column per page (two facing pages), and about 30 images/illustrations scattered throughout the book (at most one image per page). Most of the images are, say, half the column wide, and I want the text to flow around them. So I place the image in a reasonable spot and select Word Wrap | Wrap Around Bounding Box. Looks great so far. Then I anchor it--and the first line of text flows UNDER the image frame. Release the anchor and it word wraps correctly. When it's anchored I've tried both Wrap Around Bounding Box and Wrap Around Object, and various other word wrap options--the first line of text still wraps under the image frame. But all is well once I release the anchor. I'm a newbie--what am I missing?

It seems to not-work-as-expected if I place the anchor in text that is being word wrapped--that is, anywhere horizontal to the image. If I place the anchor in text above the image, that isn't being wrapped, it appears to work as expected. Sadly, this would suggest that if I want to place an image next to the paragraph that references it, and place the anchor inside the paragraph that references the image, that word wrapping won't work.

[SOLVED]vim word wrap

Is it possible to set vim up to prevent the word wrap from splitting words. Like in more modern applications, the word wrap will try to move large words at the end of the screen to a new line if they are too big. Also, is this behavior possible in less?

Here's what I have to control line breaks:
set linebreak " Wrap breaks lines at word boundaries.
set nolist " Control TAB and EOL display
set textwidth=0 " Disable auto line breaks.
set wrapmargin=0 " Stop auto insertion of EOL.
set showbreak=>>\ \ " Indicate wrapped lines.

Webforms - Wrap Text/Word Wrap for Column Headings

I have some member aliases that are set as my webform's column headings, but they are fairly long. Setting the column width to a custom value that fits most of the text in the heading makes the form very wide and ugly to work with. I don't see any option to Wrap Text or use Word Wrap in the column headings. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am not aware of any option which allows you to wrap the text, it may be possible customizing the [CSS |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_hp_admin/ch12s03.html] though to be honest I am not even sure about that and even if it was possible it would apply to all apps.
Cheers

How to word wrap within text field

I've created a form with a text field but when filling the form out, the words don't word wrap, but merely go in a single line across the text box field.
When can I format the text box to word wrap?
tks

I have set my text fields to multi line and the text wraps but it only starts about halfway down the text box. Please help, this is getting frustrating...

Looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't cut it

I'm looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't work. In text edit, it automatically scoots my text over to the next line but I just want it to keep going with a horizontal scrollbar. Is there a text editor I can download from the app store or can I get textedit to work somehow where it uses a horizontal scroll bar instead of entering text to the next line?

Hi,
thought TextWrangler can do it.
But it seems that the 'no word-wrap' "feature" isn't that much wanted anymore.
Maybe one of these http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/text%20editor can do it.
