Hey Everyone,

I posted an announcement about using an unbroken line in
your source code to prevent the "line wrap" problem that
is bothersome when viewing posted code. This works on my
Win95 (640x480 standard fonts) system with both IE 4.0 and
Netscape 4.08.

However, Snarling Sheep says that it still wraps on his Win98
system (800x600 with Small Fonts) using IE 5.5 and IE 6, but
it works OK with Netscape.

How about some input on this?

Here's a sample, the code should be on one line. Does it wrap for you?
(let us know what OS, settings, and browser you're using)

Hey Mac,

It does wrap for me as well. I'm using Win98SE and 1024x768 with
IE 5.x

Nope not wrapping for me.

I'm using Windows 2000, IE 6.0

I tried with Netscape 4.75 on my Windows 2000 and it does not wrap either.

Hi Mac,

I have Windows 2000 SP2 with IE6 using a 21 inch monitor and resolution of 1152 X 864.

It wraps for me too.

Hey Mac,
It's not wrapping for me

IE 6
Windows XP Home

1024x768 resolution
15 inch screen

[SnarlingSheep]

Very odd..marty what screen resolution are you using?

[marty]

I have

1024x768 resolution ...

Thats strange espacially that PGWARE as almost the same setup as me except for XP..

[SnarlingSheep]

It wraps for me no matter what resolution or font size I use..
You'd think the same resolution, font size and IE version would show the same way, but appearantly not.

[Mac]

Prakash, is yours showing one line or two? You said
it's not wrapping, but then you used a sad smilie face.

Sorry if I'm confused... :oops:

I tried on a different machine here with Windows 2000 and IE 5.5 and resolution of 1024X768 and it wraps.

By the way I have no service packs installed on both of the Windows 2000.

Sometimes web code works in strange ways, I can you tell you that because I work in Quality Assurance group for a Web portal thats made with JSP's and HTML pages and we certainly are very surprised on some results sometimes. And the developpers too, espacially with Javascript.

If you would like Mac, and when I have a minute, I can check with the other OS's we have here. We have Windows 95 French and English running IE5.0 and NEtscape 4.0, Windows 98 French and English IE 5.0 and Netscape 4.75, Windows NT 4 with IE 4.0 and Netscape 4.75. No Windows ME.

Let me know.

Oops Sorry I mean't it is wordwrapping the lines (6 lines) here is what it exactly shows for me:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
DIALOG SET, T1, Drive @substr(%d,1,2)" "@fdiv(%%drivesize, 1000) Megabytes"
"@fdiv(%%free, 1000) Megabytes Free" "Drive is %%percent"% Full Sorted by
"%%sort

I just tried with Netscape 6.1 and it works fine, no wordwrapping, everything all on one line. Looks like something with Windows XP and IE 6.

[Mac]

Thanks guys,

Marty - Thanks, but checking those others out is no big
deal at this point. I was hoping for a general solution to
the wrap problem, but it looks like it's not even gonna
be a 50/50 chance.

Maybe we can come up with something later.

Cheers, Mac

[Mac]

OK, here's another angle on the same idea. Does it work for
everyone if we put the unbroken line BEFORE the code tag?

It still works on mine, but due to the font difference, the line must
be quite a bit longer (I'm using the underline char "_" here because
it's wider than the char "-").

That works perfect now, no wordwrapping
