You are :) We're writing an inline html editor, so we dont know the width of the textarea... and there can be multiple per page.
The thing is, I am still confused. Why don't you know the % width? You said the textarea has a % width. If the % width was assigned
- Via CSS, then you could use the CSS class method outlined to 'transfer' the % width to the wrapper div.
- Via JS, then JS already 'knows' the % width, and you could call setStyle to get the wrapper to the correct % width.
What I find confusing are the statements "we don't know the width of the textarea" and "I have a textarea that is a percentage width". I'm not sure how the textarea can have a % width if you don't know what the % is.
Maybe if you give a (minimal) example specifying exactly how the DOM appears before/after the wrapping, and specifying what styles you want before/after the wrapping, a solution could be found.
