Thanks Daniel... I'll look into validating first. -- Mark Walters

I only have two theories. First, I wouldn't trust condenseWhite on faith alone because the comments in the code state: "The 'condenseWhite' property only applies when setting 'htmlText', not 'text'. Changing 'condenseWhite' after setting 'htmlText' doesn't affect anything except future settings of 'htmlText'." Second, it looks like textHeight doesn't check the height of the text, but instead returns a cached measurement. If you're setting the text and then checking the textHeight immediately then you may be getting the wrong value. Try calling textArea.validateNow() before checking textHeight. - Daniel Freiman nondocs <http://nondocs.blogspot.com> On 5/1/07, Mark Walters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Its adding extra whitespace (padding) at the bottom, there are no > extra white space characters in the htmlText which I can verify by setting > condenseWhite to true, which does get rid of all of the whitespace except > the extraneous bottom bit.
