Alex,
I appreciate the guidance! I've tried using callLater and it does
seem to help for text-only values of htmltext in a textarea. However,
it still seems to ignore the size of any images regardless of when I
validate and check the textHeight value... Do you know of an example
I can refer to?
Thanks!
