>how are other sites dealing with long lines of <pre></pre> text?
break up the lines where desired, and insert a "continued" character (could
be a 16x16 image, those work well)
for example,
<pre>
<OBJECT
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/
==> cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
ID=cands_intro WIDTH=290 HEIGHT=320
longdesc="webpage.html" accesskey="6">
</pre>
note the syntax allows breaks between attribute/value pairs, but not within
the url, so that's where the continuation character comes in
not a clean cut & paste operation like the textarea, but looks better than
most textareas
and a lot of the code we're putting into textareas wouldn't need the
continuation character in a <pre>..</pre> block at all, being short enough
not to kill the layout
