Actual script reads as follows: <textarea name="i_MESSAGE" id="i_MESSAGE" onkeypress="return taLimit(event)" onkeyup="return taBackspace(event)" rows="5" cols="40" wrap="physical"></textarea><br /> According to O'Reilly's Definitive Guide for HTML/XHTML, 5th edition, page 338, the "wrap" parameter is a valid tag within the <textarea> and should accept wrap="off", wrap="physical" and wrap="virtual" as valid parameters. However, the W3c Validator Error Message reads: Line 141, Column 143: there is no attribute "wrap". …pace(event)" rows="5" cols="40" wrap="physical"></textarea><br /> Your clarification on this matter would be appreciated. Thank you.

This is incorrect information, there is no such attribute for textarea in XHTML 1.0 (nor any other W3C HTML recommendation if I remember correctly). http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html
