Hello,

I have two scroll boxes on the same page. The first scroll box is good in IE
but the words will not wrap correctly in Firefox. The second scroll box is
good in all browsers.

You can see this on a test page at
http://www.usernomics.com/ergonomic-products-accessories5.html .

Can anyone see why the words will not wrap correctly in the first scroll box
in Firefox?

Thanks a lot,

Bob

Hi,

I'm leaving the validation until later. I struggled with it for so long, I
gave up because it was beyond my level of knowledge.

The scroll boxes should just have a vertical scroll bar - no horizontal.

My Firefox shows the top scroll box as having a horizontal scroll bar. And
it seems that words are not wrapping.

Is this not what you see in Firefox?

Thanks,

Bob

So you want the rest of the world to do *your* work? Get real, first you
fix whatever errors are in your code. Thereafter, you may wish to ask
politely in this group again.

Firefox (probably any other Gecko based browser) doesn't break words at
hyphens ('-'). AFAIK you can't control this behavior in HTML/CSS.
