I have an input field, in which a user will enter text inside. When the text becomes too long, the input field extends horizontally instead of dropping down vertically.
I tried adding this CSS:
overflow: hidden;
word-wrap: break-word;
but I had no luck. Any other suggestions on how to accomplish this?
I think you should use a multiline input field as TextArea:
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/textarea.html
Sample code:
<textarea rows="10" cols="30"></textarea>
Xtian - You shouldn't have any restriction on where you need to use an <input> or a <textarea>. Just give the text area the same name that you would've used for the input and you'll be fine.
For example, I just replaced
<input type="text" name="reply" />
With
<textarea rows="1" cols="26" name="reply"></textarea>
Much better now.
This is a soultion i found, Just use a hidden input and use a button for the text with a action for the form.
<form method="post" action="nextpage.php">
<input style="display: none;" name="name" type="text" value=“somedata"></input>
<button>Some text that you want to wrap but also submit the form </button>
</form>

When click middle position of the HTML textarea tag , it automatic takes 4 space. I want,dont take any space in textarea.
<textarea rows="2" cols="40" name="chief_complaints" class="form-control" value="">
</textarea>
How to solve this problem?
According to the standard, the textarea element does not support the value attribute, instead of that everything between <textarea> and </textarea> belongs to the value of the text area. To get rid of any spaces and newlines you have to write <textarea></textarea> without anything between the start and the end tag.
<textarea>[DON NOT USE BREAK LINES AND SPACES HERE, LET IT BE BLANK]</textarea>
For example:
<textarea rows="2" cols="10">Your Content</textarea>
Trying to get the input box's to line up with their text, the second input box drops a line and throws everything off when float: right is on. I'd like to know why it skipping a line and how to fix it please. Thank you.
tried rearranging, tried clearfix.

<input type="text" name="pages" type="number" required /><br>

You have several problems.
First, you're floating right the input fields and leaving labels to figure out what to do. First label ends up ok, second up breaks the flow because it fits in the same row as the input field since the text line-height is smaller than height of the input field. But the input field doesnt fit in that same line as its label.
Second, you're using <br> for breakings instead of wrapping everything in some kind of a block element.
Third, you're not using label tag at all.
So, to fix this:
Add labels (and for property in labels)
Float labels left and inputs right.
Add div around every label/input pair and add clearfix to it.
Lose <br> altogether.
I'm struggling to get inputted text to align with the top of an input textarea, on an HTML form, and have searched forums extensively, so I thought I'd post here.
I've tried using:
textarea{
vertical-align:top;}
and
input["textarea"]{
vertical-align:top;}
I've also tried adding autoflow:auto;
I think you are wanting to use a <textarea> instead of an <input>. Here's some background for you too, but you use different form elements for different things.
HTML
<input type="text" placeholder="input" value="input">
<br />
<textarea rows="10">Textarea that has text aligned to the top. No css needed</textarea>

Im not sure what your issue is but I will try and give an answer to what I believe is your problem :)
When you do like this:
<form>
<textarea cols="25" rows="5" required>
</textarea>
</form>
The spaces between your textarea is already rendered when you run the code - this means that when you wanna type in the textarea there is 100 different places you can begin texting.
I think what you wanna do is this:
<form>
<textarea cols="25" rows="5" required></textarea>
</form>
This way the texting in the textarea will begin in the top-left corner of the textarea, that is because you have not rendered any lines when you run this code.

In html for textbox it can be hidden by using <input type="hidden" name="hide"/> but for TextArea if I want to hide how should I use?
Anyone help me please,
Thanks,
Set CSS display to none for textarea
<textarea name="hide" style="display:none;"></textarea>
An <input type=hidden> element is not a hidden input box. It is simply a form field that has a value set via markup or via scripting, not via user input. You can use it for multi-line data too, e.g.
<input type=hidden name=stuff value=
"Hello
world, how
are you?">
If the value contains the Ascii quotation mark ("), then, as for any HTML attribute, you need to use Ascii apostrophes (') as attribute value delimites or escape the quote as ", e.g.
<input type=hidden name=stuff value="A "funny" example">
but is the css style tag the correct way to get cross browser compatibility?
<textarea style="display:none;" ></textarea>
or
what I learned long ago....
<textarea hidden ></textarea>
or
the global hidden element method:
<textarea hidden="hidden" ></textarea>
<textarea name="hide" style="display:none;"></textarea>
This sets the css display property to none, which prevents the browser from rendering the textarea.
use
textarea{
visibility:hidden;
}
i have this text box
<p>Event Data :<input id="data" type="text" wrap="true" value="{{data}}"
style="width: 757px; height: 170px" />
</p>
i want it to be multiline
i can't use asp:textbox
is it possible to use exact textbox and make it multiline or
make the text in textbox go word wrap
How about this:
<p>Event Data:
<textarea id="data" style="width: 757px; height: 170px" rows="10" cols="80">{{data}}</textarea>
</p>
Hat tip (and +1) to Stewart for pointing out that rows and cols are required attributes to textarea.
<p>Event Data:
<textarea id="data" rows="10" cols="80">{{data}}</textarea>
</p>
rows and cols are required attributes. Don't ask me why. And if you're going to set the size in CSS, it's generally better to do it in em or % rather than px.
If you mean that you want your text values to display as multi-lines, use add a white-space: pre; style to the textarea element, making sure to put put the proper line-breaks into the returned {{data}}
You will need to use a <textarea> with a wrap attribute. It is not in any HTML standard but to my knowledge the settings "soft", "hard" and "off" work in all major browsers. Definitely in IE. Firefox seems to require a "cols" setting for wrap to work, though.
