Description Justin Garcia 2006-02-27 20:09:27 PST 
Open the following snippit it the Snippit Editor:

<textarea style="font-family:Courier New" cols="5">123456789</textarea>

The textarea is wide enough to accomodate 1234567 on the first line.  With a fixed width font like Courier New, the first line should only accomodate 12345.
