The behavior you describe is the browser default for textareas. You could
change this behavior by adding the inofficial, proprietary but universally
supported attribute 'wrap="off"' to the textarea tag. Note however, that
long texts will appear on one line!
You could achieve this in many ways: editing the template code for the input
form is the most radical solution.
A better solution would be a bookmarklet to turn off the wrapping when
needed. The following lines are really one line that should be saved as a
bookmark:
javascript:(function(){var
w=document.getElementById('wiki__text');w.setAttribute("wrap","off");var
parNod=w.parentNode,nxtSib=w.nextSibling;parNod.removeChild(w);parNod.insert
Before(w,nxtSib);})()
for turning wrap on again:
javascript:(function(){var
w=document.getElementById('wiki__text');w.removeAttribute("wrap");var
parNod=w.parentNode,nxtSib=w.nextSibling;parNod.removeChild(w);parNod.insert
Before(w,nxtSib);})()
Works in FF and IE7 (couldn't test with IE 6).
