My memory is a little foggy (it's almost quitting time for today)... but I think the textarea's wrap attribute can have an affect on this as well. The textarea wrap attribute can be set to HARD,VIRTUAL,OFF,SOFT. The sticky issue is these attributes are browser dependent.

The white-space CSS property is similar to the textarea's wrap attribute. Possible Values are: normal, pre, and nowrap

A google search shows this:, this, and this. These describe wrap, but may not be worth much else.

Update: Right, cLive. I bolded the part of my post that mentioned that. =]

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
