How do I prevent my text from clipping in my textarea once the user has overflown the set dimensions of the textarea, I noticed once this has been done the text that overflowed was clipped from being printed, I use a small deminsioned textarea with only 14 text lines deep, and this is used for poetry, as you can see that is roughly 3 - 2 verses long, obviusly that is a problem, any help, any one?
Code OneYou mean you want to prevent the textarea from wrapping? Sorry, I don't really understand the way you put your question. Maybe it's just me....--------------->(top of textarea)
blabbbbbbbb|->printer prints
blabbbbbbbb|->printer prints
blabbbbbbbb|->printer prints
blabbbbbbbb|->printer prints
blabbbbbbbb|->printer prints
blabbbbbbbb|->printer prints
blabbbbbbbb|->printer prints
--------------->(end of textarea)
blabbbbbbbb|->cut off from printer->this is text extended beyond the specified textarea dimension.

Note for Jona:*As you can see once the text extends past the set textarea dimensions, the text which has extened is "clipped", or cut off from being printed by the printer.

I hope you can understand now. If you or anyone else has any information as to prevent this from happening, BESIDES making the textarea larger, please do not hesitate to inform.
Thanks

Right? No... other than not stopping it from wrapping I don't think there is any way to prevent a certain part from being printed, although it may be possible. Yes, you could set a certain amount of lines in the textarea to a variable and then see if you could open a new window, print that variable to the page, then automatically prompt to print the page, then close the page.Jonah,
thanks for trying
