Hi,

I have two problems:

1- I use rails 2.1, I would like use word\_wrap my text. But the method  
has no effects. However the method truncat goes on the same text. In  
MySQL this is a text type. Have you an idea?

2- When I open an authentification page in firefox my login-password are  
accepted in a web formulary.  
In Internet explorer I have a window (authentification popup of windows)  
to fill. The same login-password don’t pass. (OS : Vista).

Thanks.

Gabriel,

Sorry for two questions in the same post.  
You are right, word\_wrap return the correct text. But my text had not  
any “\n”.

Thank you.
