I would like to provide a horizontal scroll to a textarea in my HTML page. The scroll should appear without wrapping, if I type a long line without a line break. A few friends suggested using overflow-y CSS attribute, which did not work for me. The browsers that I use are IE 6+ and Mozilla 3+.

I figured out to do it in a non-W3c-compliant way and it is working in both IE and Firefox and incidentally in Chrome too.
I added the attribute wrap with value off, that is <textarea cols=80 rows=12 wrap='off'> is what I have done.
Try these:
overflow: scroll;
overflow-y: scroll;
overflow-x: scroll;
overflow:-moz-scrollbars-vertical;
there should also be a -moz-scrollbars-horizontal
