Textarea not wrapping text in any form.

Textarea not wrapping text in any form.

I noticed that all of my forms that have a textarea field, don't wrap the text as you're typing in the field. Is there a way to fix this?

You must have CSS or an attribute in the html itself that has changed the way the texarea works by default. You can fix that by changing the CSS or HTML to allow the textarea to wrap.

If you post a url to the page with the issue I can track down the exact cause.

Ok, I added the below to my css file and everything is working now. Thanks for your help.

textarea {
white-space:
pre-wrap !important;
word-wrap: break-word !important;
}
