In the past I have personally found Text controls easier to deal with, but you should still be able to do this. It may be that the textHeight property is only exactly what it says it is -- the height of the rendered htmlText in your case. You may need to account for the control's other properties that affect size like the chrome. Assuming messageBox is a TextArea control, perhaps something like: messageBox.height = messageBox.textHeight + messageBox.viewMetrics.top + messageBox.viewMetrics.bottom + messageBox.borderMetrics.top + messageBox.borderMetrics.bottom; HTH, Ryan
