I''m trying to get a page to validate as XHTML Strict, and I''ve
gotten
everything fixed except for one <textarea> that Rails is generating.
<textarea cols="40" id="estcomment_comment"
name="estcomment[comment]"
rows="10" wrap="virtual"></textarea>
This tag is being called in my view with
<%= text_area("estcomment", "comment",
"cols" => 40, "rows" => 10) %>
Is there any way to force Rails to output code without the extraneous
"wrap" attribute?

I would like to know this as well. Perhaps it is a bug?

Netscape 4? What on earth is that? Thou shalt not speak of such evil! Rails is such a breath of fresh air, there is no need to look back at such outdated and totally non-compliant browsers such as NS4. If it works in atleast NS6+, then its good enough. I say make it xhtml strict or make it an option to manually add the wrap attribute.

Just > my $0.02I ran into an issue where the javascript asset helper was adding a language="javascript", another XHTML boo boo. If it is indeed in the helper method, I''ll submit a patch. If no one else has, I''ll do the same for the text area. Though, looking at the code, it looks like it''s generated in ActiveRecord::Base rather than the helper itself: http://rails.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html#M000317 -- rick http://techno-weenie.net
