Locking width of text area Can't Post
I guess I need to know if I can make the WYSIWYG do something like Word Wrap. I have it (PML) set inside a table that will distort when they type a looooooong sentence. This kills the page dimenstions....and I cannot have that. Is there A way I can LOCK the width they can type or anything else?

Hi,

To have the content created with the WYSIWYG editor wrap instead of pushing out your page try is setting a maximum width to your table.
Code
 <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="500"> 
 <tr>  
   <td> 
     <!-- publish type="wysiwyg" name="Article Content" rows=10 --> 
     Content goes here. 
     <!-- /publish --> 
  </td> 
  </tr> 
</table>
Any text entered in the WYSIWYG editor will then wrap at the set width.

You could also set a the width for the table data cell
Code
 <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> 
 <tr>  
   <td width="500"> 
     <!-- publish type="wysiwyg" name="Article Content" rows=10 --> 
     Content goes here. 
     <!-- /publish --> 
  </td> 
  </tr> 
</table>
Hopefully this is what you were looking for.

I had it right all along then. The only thing is that IF they were to hold down the <SPACE> bar or a letter without using any spaces, then it will not wrap. But since this is highly unlikely then I am fine. Thanks!

I am using ie7 and firfox



I can post content just fine, but it affects the layout.



in ie7 it throws of the page layout off



in firefox the text does not wrap around. just continues straight out forever



So I thought locking the text in table width might help, no luck yet. Is there a css problem that ie7 and firefox does not get or is page publisher changing something?



Thanks



jj

<div class="right-box-text">


<!-- publish type="wysiwyg" name="Volunteer" rows=10 --><!-- /publish -->


</div>

#rightcolumn {
float:right;
width:235px;
padding:5px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

.right-box-text {
background-image:url(images/page_elements/right-text.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
padding: 5px 0px 10px 5px;

}

THANK YOU! This is exactly the problem I was having when I first started the Page Publisher program - I have to do daily updates on my site and bottom line is I am NO good at HTML - These tables make it very simple to accomplish exactly what I needed!

such a perfect thread for me - Cool
