User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030612 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030612 Same as in 2.7rc1, Composer can generate pages that look just fine in Mozilla, but where the text lines do not wrap when viewed with Internet Explorer 6.0. An example of such a page is: http://www.gpsinformation.org/hotspot/wirelesslansetup06182003.html Anybody know a good workaround for this? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Long webpage text lines fail to wrap when viewed with IE6. Expected Results: Long webpage lines generated by composer should word wrap when viewed by IE6.
The entire page is contained in a <PRE> tag, which means preformatted text. See the definition of <PRE> at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/text.html#h-9.3.4 which says: ... The PRE element tells visual user agents that the enclosed text is "preformatted". When handling preformatted text, visual user agents: * May leave white space intact. * May render text with a fixed-pitch font. * May disable automatic word wrap. ... The <PRE> tag contains an invalid WRAP="" attribute The page is not valid HTML. Please check the code at http://validator.w3.org/ Marking invalid, though it is interesting that Mozilla browser DOES wrap the text

You say the page shown "is not valid HTML"? It was generated exclusively by Composer. If it is not valid html, then composer has a bug.

Perhaps I was not clear before. 1) The sample page was generated EXCLUSIVELY by composer. 2) There was NO manual html editing on the page after it was generated. 3) I did not in any way (that I know of) ask for the page to have this "pre wrap" feature. 4) Since the page does not display properly in IE6, my conclusion is that Composer is adding this "illegal" code in error.

While this might or might not be a bug (seems like it is), this is the same as bug 210052 (which Joe already reported some time before this one). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 210052 ***
