You're right. The stylesheet is being loaded before the TextArea is created, so it's attempting to apply the style to something that doesn't exist. Yeah, it's annoying, but there are ways around it. Someone on this list who's a better coder than I, may recommend a way to check for the existence of the TextArea first. Or, just make sure the stylesheet is loaded last...

I have a TextArea in a Repeater that displays blog comments from a DB. I am trying to style the TextArea so that the links look like links (blue, underlined, hover... etc). However, when I try to use my stylesheet to format the TextArea, I get: "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." Can someone please help me out? I think it has something to do with the creation/or order of creation of the TextArea. Thanks, S
