Remove scroll bars in dynamic form

Question

Hi all,
I'm starting to kick myself every time I put a post here.  Apologies and thank you for everyone's help - slowly but shortly I'll be one of the people answering the questions.
Really easy one (I think).  A have a dynamic form, which updates a dynamic list.  Is there a way to alter a text area in the dynamic form, so that it is a fixed area  i.e. when you get to the end of the line/characater usage, the cursor goes down to the next line rather than creating a horizontal scroll bar and running forever into the distance.  I have played around with Wrap options without luck, the css doesn;t seem to play much of a part as this is an actual text area in Dreamweaver as opposed to a CSS clipping in the list.
Thanks again,
Nathan

Perfect! Thank you Albert.  Is it possible to add virtual wrap to a box in a dynamic list?  As that is not presented in a normal html form'ish style way.....?
Hi Nathan,
as a Dynamic List displays pure text only, you´ll need to help yourself by formatting the displayed column using PHP. There are several ways to add "virtual" line breaks, and the most straightforward (though certainly not the most elegant) solution would be to apply the PHP function wordwrap which wraps a string to a given number of characters.
The following example will wrap the text after 40 chars, and the "wordwrap" function will - as always - have to replace ADDT´s default "KT_FormatForList" function:
<?php echo wordwrap($row_rsqueryname1['columnname'], 40, "<br />\n"); ?>
