If firebug is not reporting an error, then the error isn't occurring. Which can mean a few different things.
1. Check what Jeff mentioned, I had assumed that the missing code was a cut/paste issue into your email tool, but if you haven't closed the <cftextarea> tag as well as haven't included the </cftextarea> close tag, then that may be causing the issue. 2. If javascript does not report an error, then the Javascript is either 'running without issue' which means that the command += 1 isn't being accepted, but is correct syntax. OR the command wasn't run at all, which could mean that onKeyDown isn't being activated, so you could try onKeyUp or onChange (just to see it work). William -- William E.

The 'this' replacement for 'document.getElementById('noteid2')' technique alone does not seem to solve the problem. BUT BUT, it's a right step... Yes, my FF2 has Firebug installed, I did not see any error, previously if there were CFC or JSON problem it would indicate so... but I'm new to firebug, OK, I've suddenly made progress using FB, I've spotted culprit (from a news feed), once disabled this feed, the textarea auto-expansion seems to work (not perfect yet), awesome, thank you a million. I'll need to do more testing... more later... Don >Don, > >I am curious, you are referring to the id in the javascript by absolute >name.
