Re: [WSG] Textarea problem
This is really a pain. The problem I can see is that with a liquid
layout I need to specify an actual width for the middle column (the
left and right columns both being fixed-width) - so the solution is not
so easy. Holly's hack didn't work and besides I rarely use hacks as I
generally simplify things to a point where I either don't need them or
I can go around the problem.
As for this problem, M$/IE wins again, I'll go back to two columns for
this particular part of things.
Thanks for the input...v

I've seen this more when using percentage based width (and the same
happens to tables, but mostly in quirks mode).
One solution is to have a width (or height [1]) explicitly declared on
the direct parent container.
[1] height:1% on that parent container would be OK, but only served to
IE Windows, by using the 'Holly' hack.

[WSG] Textarea problem
I'm having a problem with a textarea. It will display properly on the
page (which has three div columns) but when a person begins to input
data it automatically expands (to the right) so it occupies two columns
instead of just the middle column. I've never seen anything like this
before...
textarea name='msg' class='t1'/textarea
.t1 {
display:inline; - this is a tip I got from the mail list
width:98%;
height:125px;
}
I've validated the code and this problem seems consistent in IE6 in
windows 2000.
Has anybody experience this same problem? I could post more code for
this but I'll wait and see if there might be an easy solution to this
first.
Thanks, v

Can you post a demo link?
