ZMI Does Not Wrap Lines in IE6
The Zope Management Interface works great in Mozilla. However, when I access the ZMI using IE 6 the line wrapping is turned off, and I can only see the leftmost portions of my code. Clicking on the Wider and Narrower buttons at the bottom of the screen seem to have no effect on anything. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

This snippet may help (I've not tried it though)
I've spotted a problem with the Zope management interface that's starting to get annoying and _should_ be pretty easy to fix. In IE6 the width of the <textarea> on the main edit object pane extends to just beyond the width of the pane, meaning you have to scroll the pane horizontally before you can grab the vertical scroll bar. This is because of the way that IE6 renders code that might not be 100% standards compliant (even when a validator might say otherwise!) and relates to the doctype used. You could fix this be doing a search+replace on the zope source code and replacing:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
with:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
This switches IE6 into 'quirks' mode and will allow it to render such code properly. It should have no effect on other browsers. I've had this kind of problem with a few sites in IE6 and this always does the trick.

The attribute for wrap control is not in the HTML 4 standard. Maybe, IE now wants to be standard compatible. Ask/check IE related mailing lists.
