Advice for implemented multi-line display

[zinja]

I currently have a script that functions as a point of sale system. The next thing to change is to make the single line display a multi-line display that will display the last 5 transactions on a ticket with a running total line at the bottom. I am currently using css and a div to control the box that displays data.

What would be the best method to convert my single line display to a multi-line display. I think I can handle moving values to rows inside the textbox, but am unsure how to specify a multi-row textbox.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

My personal saying - Just remember, it can always get worse, and usually will.

You are using an input element with the type="text" attribute (I am guessing). For this kind of thing, use a textarea (or just a div would be as good)...

<textarea rows="5" cols="40">data here</textarea>

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!
