Really? I can't recall the last time I saw a multi-line text box that didn't word-wrap.
That may have made sense back in the day when TEXTAREA form elements didn't wrap and there was no way to switch the wrapping on, but its been over 10 years since that was the case. Do people still do that?
Even in the presence of people needlessly hitting enter because they don't realise the input box will word-wrap, the effect of doing the-wrong-thing still seems preferable with turning enter key presses into line breaks.
The worst that happens
when you hit enter at
the end of the input
box is a narrow column
of text.
If you expect hitting Enter to result in a line-break, doing the-wrong-thing results in text being wrongly joined together into one paragraph.
- andrewcooke 17y agodude, i'm telling you what people do. perhaps your problem is confusing people with computers?
- billpg 17y agoFair enough. My point would be that if people are still doing that, they don't have to anymore. Also, my earlier response was written a little rashly, stemming for my sense of sheer disbelief. While I stand by my overall point, I'd like to apologise for my tone.
