I just played around with that a bit. This seems to be a Confluence problem. If you open the URL http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/dropdownchoice-examples.html, you get small text areas without proper styling. If you then edit the page and cancel editing again, you are redirected to http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WICKET/DropDownChoice+Examples. Now everything is fine.

It looks like any link that ends with ".html" leads to a bad page. I wonder how come such HTML links are used. These are not standard Confluence links. The problems is that if you open a ".html" link, all links on that page in turn ".html" links again. Compare e. g. http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/how-to-do-things-in-wicket.html vs. http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WICKET/How+to+do+things+in+Wicket.

So, every link to the Wiki from the Apache Website should use the correct form. E. g. http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/ should be changed to http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WICKET/Index.

Could someone please take care of that.

Thanks,
Reinhard

used, but it seems not to set up the width of textareas, leaving them to
default width.

FYI, many of the wiki pages have code blocks that render poorly on firefox,
chrome & safari (all on the Mac).

For example, http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/dropdownchoice-examples.html

I see code blocks with nested scrollpanes and the inner one is only about
20
characters wide, so the code is wrapped tightly.  On chrome and safari
there's
a drag handle where you can pull each one out horizontally to make it
readable,
but not on firefox.  Many of the wiki pages are like this.

OTOH, many similar pages are fine.  For example
http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/conditional-validation.html
