I am having difficulties getting the horizontal scroll
bar to work in a inputTextarea control in a java web
applicaton. I have posted several questions on a few
groups, and everybody seems to think the code should
work.
I am new to web apps. Tomcat 6.0 is the first server
I have used with Netbeans 6.0. So I am unsure if this
behavior is coding, or the webserver.
I have tried several CSS class style properties, both
in the XML, and also in the java code, to force the
horizontal scrollbar to work. However, if the text
goes beyond the edges of the textarea, the text wraps
to the next line. Unless I set the white-space to
nowrap, and then I get one long line of text with no
line breaks.
When I set the value of the text area, linebreaks in
the java code are set using the \r\n. I tired <br>,
but this text appears in the textarea.
While my first guess would not be this, I am wondering
if the problem lies in the way Tomcat interprets the
Java web app and present it to the browsers. below is
a sample of the xml code for the textarea, and also a
sample of java code, where I also attempt to change
the style of the textarea.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
<h:inputTextarea binding="#{RaceReport.txtRiderInfo}"
id="txtRiderInfo" style="border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid; font-family: 'Courier
New','Courier',monospace; font-size: 12px; height:
75%; min-height: 400px; left: 24px; top: 144px;
position: absolute; width: 96%; min-width: 400px;
margin-right: 7500px; overflow-x: scroll"/>
txtRiderInfo.setStyle("white-space: normal;
border-width: 2px; border-style: solid; font-family:
'Courier New','Courier',monospace; font-size: 12px;
height: 75%; min-height: 400px; left: 24px; top:
144px; position: absolute; width: 96%; min-width:
400px; margin-right: 7500px");
The text gets created like this:
txtRiderInfo.setValue("Race Results Report.\r\nAll
Total Elapsed Times Are Based From The Start Of The
First Heat.\r\n\r\n");
Thanks for your time
Ryan
