Alternating line colors for TEXTAREA 1

medic · Aug 18, 2003

Hi,

Is there a way to make a TEXTAREA with lines of alternating background colors (e.g. white & lightgray lines)? If not, can anyone suggest a similar control that can do this?

TIA

Well... it's a bit of kludge, but you could do something like:

Code:

<html>
<body>
<textarea rows=&quot;24&quot; cols=&quot;80&quot; style=&quot;background:#ffffff url(stripedBgImg.gif);&quot;>
Hello, everybody...
</textarea>
</body>
</html>

... just make your "stripedBgImg" the right size stripes in grey and white... It would fill the entire text-area, not just the areas with text in them, but it'd work if carefully applied. Of course, you'll also need to set the text styles for the text area to match your image row-height.

Hope that's not completely useless information.
