Okay, if you insist, just use the PHP builtin function: http://php.net/wordwrap > What does the browser actually do when it automatically wraps textarea > input? In the bad old days, you had the WRAP attribute, which was largely abused and misused by people who failed to understand it. There was really no excuse for anything other than WRAP="virtual" in the first place. > What could explain the scrambled result? Sorry. I'm not tracing through your code to find the bugs... You're on the right track printing out the start/end numbers though. Start with a line of text that is very short and should not wrap. Then with one long enough to wrap just ONCE. Build your test suite up from there. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
