Hi, The easiest way to define this is to create a division whose overflow attribute is set to auto. example:
<div style="overflow:auto;width=500px;"> <pre> whatever code you want </pre> </div> Hope it helps. Pat Boens http://www.fastwrite.com -----Original Message----- Is there any way to specify a max width for content of <pre> tags? Currently the content of my <pre> tags does not automatically wrap when the parent div is at an end - it just keeps on running until it finds the end of the line. I know the idea of the <pre> tag is to display the content as it is, but of course I want it to remain in the boundaries of my parent element. Any ideas? ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
