Text Area Word Wrap

Hello,

I am having an issue with the Text area boxes not wrapping the text after it reaches the edge of the control when using Internet Explorer. In Firefox the functionality works fine and the text wraps, but in internet explorer I just creates a scroll bar.

Is this a bug? Or does anyone have a work around so that this does not occur?

I appreciate any help!

Hi Josh,

It appears that the word wrapping in IE works fine when the Text Area control is not inside of a layout control (e.g. Horizontal Layout).  However, when placed inside of a layout control, it does not wrap.  This appears to be a bug, I will report this to the development team to see if this is in fact a bug.

I will keep you posted.

Regards,

Courtney

The issue is due to an HTML text area behavior discrepancy with IE11. It has been reported such as in this stack overflow post. The issue has been addressed and will appear in the next minor SPARK UI toolkit release.

In the meantime, if you cannot wait for the new periodic release, just add the following CSS somewhere in your Coach Page or Coach View that uses the Text Area control:

.Text_Area textarea {
white-space: pre-wrap;
}
