Is it something im doing wrong... because the text boxes in Netscape scroll horizontally.

thanks, kim
 
Do you have 'nowrap' in your tag? That might do it. Ryan

Add this line to TEXTAREA TAG

<TEXTAREA WRAP=&quot;virtual&quot;> and add cols and rows and anything else you want to it.

Hope this helps! [deejay]

i have the wrap virtual code in the tag and it still does it...

<textarea name=&quot;textfield&quot; cols=&quot;30&quot; rows=&quot;2&quot; class=&quot;newsboxtextCopy&quot; tabindex=&quot;7&quot; wrap=&quot;VIRTUAL&quot;></textarea>

check it out...
click on html then information, then contact us.

Works fine for me too using MSIE-6, but for some reason I am getting this message when I try to open any of the links in the popup window using Netscape 4.7:
&quot;File Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.&quot;

Thanks Nate, but I was specifically referring to NS6 in reference to the sideways scrolling. Can you check it for me using that browser.

Of course, you have brought up a new issue...I will download NS4.7 so I can correct the popup window issue and anything else I find.

Any suggestions on how to check out what will or will not work in IE4 since I can dowload that when I already have IE 6. I guess the wc3 website will have that info. buit I alwa;y have trouble finding stuff there.

thanks again,
kim
 
I actually don't have Netscape 6, I deleted it b/c it is crap, I have converted to MSIE. Too many bugs in Netscape 6.
I could probably re-install it though for a day a check it out for you. Give me an hour or so, and I'll post back.

No idea what will work with IE-4 either. I have MSIE-6.

Ok, I see what you mean. This is why you shouldn't use Netscape, they use a different set of rules sometimes, which is really annoying.

Try these different combinations to see if it works (put only one of these in the <TEXTAREA>
--------------
WRAP=&quot;YES&quot;
WRAP=&quot;TRUE&quot;
WRAP=&quot;1&quot;
NOWRAP=&quot;NO&quot;
NOWRAP=&quot;FALSE&quot;
NOWRAP=&quot;0&quot;
NOWRAP=&quot;NULL&quot;
--------------
You might also try getting rid of <TEXTAREA> and try using this:
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;TEXT&quot; COLS=&quot;5&quot; ROWS=&quot;5&quot; (one of the above)>
</FORM>

Trial and error, when it comes to Netscape sometimes.

Good Luck!
