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.

[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.

Can you post a demo link? On 10/05/2004, at 12:14 AM, Vaska.WSG wrote: I'm having a problem with a textarea.
