Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Name

WIDTH — NN n/a IE n/a HTML 4

Synopsis

WIDTH=”columnCount"

Optional

The HTML 4.0 specification introduces the WIDTH attribute to allow setting a maximum number of characters to be rendered on a preformatted line of text. Presumably, browsers that support this attribute in the future will wrap lines so that words do not break in the middle. Without this attribute, the source code formatting governs the line width. Navigator provides this functionality with the COLS attribute.

Example

<PRE WIDTH=80>...</PRE>

Value

Any positive integer.

Default

None.
