hi all,
i have a prob with <pre></pre> tag...
the data which i am getting from the database is having new line characters and i want it to be displayed as it is. thus i am putting the

<pre> </pre> tag with it. but the prob is that when i am trying to display the text which is very long then the width of the row in which the data is there increses. i want it to be wrapped.
can anyone tell me how this can be done.
thanks a lot in advance

You need to use CSS and a div surrounding your code to limit the width...
