Is it possible to make any CSS element behave like <pre>
I am loading some content inside an iframe. I want this content to behave as-if it was inside a <pre> tag - namely for it to respect line breaks. I am using javascript to set the style of the body element of this iframe.
I am wondering if it would be possible to set a particular style that will cause the body of this iframe to act like it's inside <pre/>.
Answer
you can find the default setting or how they're suppose to be at http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/sample.html just apply the same style to the element you want to behave as a pre element and voila you're done
p.s. which is basically
pre{ white-space: pre ; display: block; unicode-bidi: embed }
