I'm tying to display (and edit) text in a browser enable form, but a single
line of text is insufficient.
The multi-line text box is unsupported in browser forms.

Is there any other way to achieve the same functionality? Using multiple
text boxes vertically is not "user friendly".

Regards

JR

Multi-line in browser enable forms its possible, by choosing "Multi-line"
option in text-box properties.
What isn't available is some funcionalities of it.

Thanks.

Hi,

Did you try the "Wrap text" check box present in the "display" tab of the
textbox properties? It has got different options how the text would be shown.

Hi Karthik,

Thank you for the reply.
Since the form is browser enable, all of the options under the "Multi-line"
in the “Display” tab are disabled.
I’m working with two text-boxes of large dimensions, one as read-only and
other for editing.
The text-box for editing does the multi-line and wraps text. The read-only
field doesn't implement the wrap text, appearing the text cutted, something
like "big line of tex..."

A simple workaround:
Implement the disable via “Conditional Formatting” instead of marking the
field directly “Read-Only” in the display tab :-)

Regards,

JR
