But now I discovered that the WebTextArea is behaving different on various browsers (what's new? ). (Font Family is set to Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif) For example: WebTextArea in Safari (6.0.2) looks fine: Same WebTextArea in Firefox (18.0.1) looks fine too: In Internet Explorer (IE9) the last line at the bottom isn't shown and I get a scrollbar: On the iPad with Safari, various WebTextArea fields also get scrollbars. I can make the height of WebTextArea bigger, but that will give me a bigger white margin at the bottom on Safari and Firefox Is it possible the make the height of a WebTextArea dynamic, so that all the text is always shown on a neat way? _________________ MacBook Pro (late 2008), OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Real Studio 2012r2 Top Bob Keeney Post subject: Re: Dynamic height TextAreaPosted: Wed Jan 23, 2013 10:35 am Joined: Fri Sep 30, 2005 11:48 am Posts: 3395 Location: Lenexa, KS I've looked at this a couple of times and have bugged the RS engineers a few times about it and I've not been able to find anything. As far as I know, there's no way of getting the text height of the content of the TextArea. _________________ Bob K.

Use standard CSS in the HTML code. Maybe you'll have some luck with that _________________ http://www.linkedin.com/in/albinkiland Dev. iMac 27" + 2x22" LG (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM, 120GB SSD) OS X 10.8 REAL.Studio Web Edition 2011r3 Top Bob Keeney Post subject: Re: Dynamic height TextAreaPosted: Wed Jan 23, 2013 11:18 am Joined: Fri Sep 30, 2005 11:48 am Posts: 3395 Location: Lenexa, KS I'm wondering if you can get a peak into the control to see if the scrollbars are visible. That would at least tell you *something*. _________________ Bob K.

When the text fits into the WebTextArea the scrollbar is disabled but still visible without slider, but with up and down arrows. _________________ MacBook Pro (late 2008), OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Real Studio 2012r2 Top richardschmidt Post subject: Re: Dynamic height TextAreaPosted: Wed Jan 23, 2013 2:29 pm Joined: Tue May 31, 2011 1:42 pm Posts: 23 If you don't need an editable textarea, maybe you could try the label in multi-line mode to get rid of the scroll bars?

The left alignment in a WebLabel differs from left alignment in a WebTextArea. Top-Right = Label Bottom-Right = TextArea _________________ MacBook Pro (late 2008), OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Real Studio 2012r2 Top richardschmidt Post subject: Re: Dynamic height TextAreaPosted: Wed Jan 23, 2013 3:38 pm Joined: Tue May 31, 2011 1:42 pm Posts: 23 Maybe you could apply a style with padding of a few pixels to solve this? _________________ RealStudio Web 2012r2.1 | MonkeyBread | MacBook Air OSX Mountain Lion | CentOS VPS / WHM*CPanel My RealStudio Web applications are available at http://www.runapps.nl/english/ (Dutch language apps only) Top paulsondervan Post subject: Re: Dynamic height TextAreaPosted: Thu Jan 24, 2013 3:41 am Joined: Fri Jul 09, 2010 7:16 am Posts: 64 Location: Den Haag, Netherlands I can do that, but the problem of the text not fitting in the WebTextArea/WebLabel using IE9 while fitting in Safari and Firefox still remains. _________________ MacBook Pro (late 2008), OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Real Studio 2012r2 Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 9 posts ]
