A text field in IE containing a LOT of text will not obey style: width 100%... how do I force it to?

I believe that you can do this via the 'overflow' property, e.g.
overflow:scroll (or possibly overflow:auto) would cause a scroll bar to
appear so that the content would not be wider than the space available
(e.g. not cause page to scroll).
