problem with display tag

hI,
this is MeenatchiSundar.Iam new to struts.I have problem with the display tags.Problem is that i have an Location Form.jsp page..in that there is an comment field which is an text area...When i give long piece of text in it and click submit,in the view page it is displayed as long text from top to bottom..that text should come from left to rigt and not from top to bottomThat view is written in display tag.can anyone solve the issues.

Sounds like the width of the space you provided to display the text might be to narrow. Posting your JSP and indicating which display you are talking about would probably help.

Have you tried setting the width of the columns by using the style attribute? It sounds like your columns are too narrow. You might also need to change the width of the table if that isn't wide enough.
