Print the wholes input box 1

[blondy]

Hi all,

I have an input box (within a form) that I need to restrict in height to preserve screen real estate, but I want the entire contents to print. Is there any way to do this using CSS?

Thanks in anticipation...

You could set the font-size of the box using pixels:

<input type=&quot;text&quot; style=&quot;font-size:8px;&quot;>

Hope this helps,

Try this. Haven't tried it myself, but in theory should work:

<link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;screen.css&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; media=&quot;screen&quot; />
<link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;print.css&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; media=&quot;print&quot; />

and in the .css docs:

/* Screen.css */
textarea {
 width: 100px;
 height: 100px;
 overflow: auto;
}

/* Print.css */
textarea {
 width: 100px;
 height: 100px;
 overflow: visible;
}

This basically says that when used on the screen, textarea will have size 100px and scrollbars will appear when there's too much text. In printing, the textarea will expand. Sorry, can't try it now but the theory is good.

You are an absolute legend Vragabond, a star for you!!!

...Since we're on the subject... Does anyone know how to print text that you put in <a title=&quot;Blah&quot;> ?
