Disable automatic carriage return in emacs HTML mode

Question

I'm using emacs in HTML mode. When I type about 70 columns of text, it automatically performs a carriage return, breaking up the text over two lines. Is there a way to disable and/or modify this?

You probably have auto-fill mode turned on. Just do M-x auto-fill-mode to disable it. For a more permanent solution, add

(add-hook 'html-mode-hook 'turn-off-auto-fill)

to your .emacs file.
