When I put a page through a validator, using the below doctype, it says can't use virtual in a textare of a form, what should be used instead???

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html401/loose.dtd">

... estText" ROWS=5 COLS=40 WRAP="VIRTUAL">text</TEXTAREA>

Wrap was deprecated in HTML4.
Don't use it.
