Pressing enter in a textarea with the nowrap whitespace attribute set through CSS does not create a new line in IE8. Instead, just a simple whitespace appears. Other browsers like Opera, Chrome, and Firefox do not have this issue. Any solutions for this problem?
Thanks..
This is my CSS:
.gwt-TextArea
{
white-space:nowrap;
}
The class gwt-TextArea is used to style the textarea.
I also tried:
.gwt-TextArea
{
white-space: pre;
}
But it yielded the same outcome.
According to a recent study, Internet Explorer is known for disregarding line breaks when using white-space: nowrap.
An alternative solution proposed is to implement the style rule white-space: pre. Have you tried this method to achieve the desired outcome?
Unfortunately, the solution to this problem is quite straightforward.
If you're dealing with Internet Explorer 7, any white-space value that is not pre will trigger this issue.
For Internet Explorer 8, using anything other than pre-wrap as the white-space value will also cause problems.
As for Internet Explorer 9, I haven't had the chance to test it yet. However, if you encounter the same issue there, simply create a blank page with a <textarea>, open it, press F12, and run
console.log(document.getElementsByTagName("TEXTAREA")[0].currentStyle.whiteSpace)white-space property of the <
textarea>.
Update:
In my trial with Internet Explorer 11 across different emulation modes starting from Internet Explorer 7 mode, I observed that it behaves like Chrome in quirks mode. Only white-space: normal and white-space: nowrap seem to trigger the issue. It appears that they might have unintentionally backported some fixes to most emulation modes.
Is CSS the only option for solving this problem? Alternatively, you could set the attribute wrap="off" for the textarea element.
Here are the different options for handling whitespace in CSS as outlined on Quirksmode.org:
Consider using white-space: normal, though it's advisable to test this in various browsers including IE to ensure compatibility.

Have you included a doctype declaration? It's recommended to include
