Re: [Flashcoders] Re: inline images in a textarea
thanks...its not the text thats going to the next line though...the text is all appearing on one line, but the image is appearing on the next. so for instance when the image is supposed to be in the middle of the line of text: hey there img src=http://www.thewhole9.com/chat/smilies/smile.jpg; width=19 height=19 VSPACE=0 HSPACE=0 / hows it going? is turning into this (visually anyway, the html is still correct in the textarea): hey there hows it going? img src=http://www.thewhole9.com/chat/smilies/smile.jpg; width=19 height=19 VSPACE=0 HSPACE=0 / does that make sense? thee image is appearing on the next line, after the line of text when it should be right in the middle.
