I've added a scripting language to a project, so naturally dropped a Text area in for debugging and quickly throwing scripts around. The parser can output errors, and give me line numbers for those errors in the script. However, with wrapping on it's awkward to work out line numbers. I think I've exhausted styling options with CSS, as wrapping is traditionally handled from the HTML end of things apparently.
So there we have it: does anyone know how to disable wrapping on a Textarea?
[ Edit: An alternative question, as this is the longer way I see of getting line numbers:
How can I specify a width for a textarea in characters, ie: columns? I know this can be specified in HTML, and should be specifyable by setting the CSS 'width' property to '40em' or whatever. Setting the width works, but even with all padding etc specifically set to 0, the width is waaaay over the specified value. ]
[Edit 2: Solved. It turns out if you set the CSS 'white-space' to 'nowrap' it works. I actually discovered this by being told it didn't work, and trying it anyway - which just goes to show... something.]
