Re^2: Formatting CGI script error messages

I didn't know about the "overflow: scroll" thing. Pretty neat. It got me looking back at HTML/CSS documentation, and I actually found that <pre> has a "wrap" attribute!

Unfortunately, the "wrap" attribute doesn't work in IE. However, your "word-wrap: break-word" trick does (thanks! -- I didn't know about that one either). So now I have this, which works in both NS and IE:

<pre style="word-wrap: break-word" wrap>...</pre>

(Note that "white-space: normal" is no good, though, because it collapses multiple spaces and newlines (at least, it does in NS; IE seems to not honour that either).)
