Line Wrapper

Wraps entries in a textarea box to whatever number of characters per line you want. For example, The script can automatically insert a return after each 50 spaces, so that the form contents you receive are more readable. (The script does indifferently break lines in mid-word, a possible fix for the next version?)

Simply click inside the window below, use your cursor to hilight the script, and copy (type Control-c or Apple-c) the script into a new file in your text editor (such as Note Pad or Simple Text) and save (Control-s or Apple-s). The script is yours!!!

  <HEAD> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">    </script> </HEAD>  <BODY> <center> <form name=form1> <textarea name=text1 rows=15 cols=50>This is just an example of a long textbox entry that just went on and on and on and on..... The visitor did not hit <enter> when entering this information so it continued off the right side of the textarea box. Notice that hitting <enter> after each line, like this: This is on another line And so is this one..... Still wraps correctly. Neat!</textarea><br> <input type=button value="Wrap Lines to 50 Spaces" onClick="this.form.text1.value = showLines(50, this.form.text1.value)"> <br><br> <textarea name=text2 rows=15 cols=50 wrap=virtual>This is another example, but this time the textarea box has the "wrap=virtual" attribute, which makes each line wrap in the box rather than scrolling out the right side. The script also correctly deals with this type of box. Like before, notice that hitting <enter> after each line, like this: This is on another line And so is this one..... Still wraps correctly. Neat!</textarea><br> <input type=button value="Wrap Lines to 50 Spaces" onClick="this.form.text2.value = showLines(50, this.form.text2.value)"> </form> </center> <p><center> <font face="arial, helvetica" size="-2">Free JavaScripts provided<br> by <a href="/old?u=http%3A%2F%2Fjavascriptsource.com&y=1999">The JavaScript Source</a></font> </center><p>
