Question

i'm trying to wrap a textbox but i'm getting that word-wrap is not a know css property name and it's not working so how can i fix it?

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="cnt_content">
                <EditItemTemplate>
                    <asp:TextBox ID="cnt_content" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("cnt_content") %>'  wrap="true" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox>
                </EditItemTemplate> 
                <ItemTemplate> 
                    <asp:Label ID="cnt_content" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("cnt_content") %>'></asp:Label> 
                </ItemTemplate> 
                <ItemStyle Width="800px" wrap="true" />
            </asp:TemplateField>

i tried word-break instead of word-wrap and i'm getting the same error for the word-break — User7291, Sep 04 '13 at 11:37
I think you will find its just because of the CSS setting you have selected... at the top of VS there should be a dropdown to select which version of CSS you are using. — Squirrel5853, Sep 04 '13 at 11:42
read the answer on this aswell, the comment where by the element must have a layout. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3997223/word-wrapbreak-word-not-working-in-ie8 — Squirrel5853, Sep 04 '13 at 11:47

Try to close your css file in VWD IDE and re-compile the error will go away. Source - http://forums.asp.net/t/1438035.aspx/1. – Vladimir Sep 04 '13 at 11:46

Why not using asp.net's own TextBox WordWrap property.

<asp:TextBox Wrap="True|False" />

TextMode property to "Multiline"

Its working for me

The values permitted for this attribute do not include 'True|False' – User7291 Sep 04 '13 at 11:33
Have you written both of them ? use one of them either true or false. – Jibran Khan Sep 04 '13 at 11:34
Have you set the textbox property "TextMode" to multiline? – Jibran Khan Sep 04 '13 at 11:38

Don't worry, Visual Studio does not understand word-wrap property for Div.So it gives you green line.! So run your page & see output with <div style="word-wrap:break-word;">

Why are you using width="700px" TextMode="MultiLine" properties? Try with deleting them.! – Pratik Patel Sep 04 '13 at 11:48
