Set the height of a TEXTAREA

[VBGuy2112]

Hello.

I'm looking to size a textarea to be as large as the value that is populating it. This will be a read-only textarea. I'd just display the value in a table but I loose the carriage returns, spacing, etc.

I've been able to say:
STYLE="overflow: Show;Width: 85%;"

which sets the width but when I put in a height value (Height: 100%), it show the textarea with a 0 height. Is there anyway to have this textarea be as tall as it needs to display it's value?

Thanks!

You can do this in JavaScript and display it in a table. If it is read only, you must supply the value somehow, so I'll assume you call the value the_val.

<script>
<!--
the_val=the_val.replace(&quot; &quot;,&quot;&nbsp;&quot;
the_val=the_val.replace(&quot;\n&quot;,&quot;<br>&quot;
the_val=the_val.replace(&quot;\r&quot;,&quot;<br>&quot;
//-->
</script>

Then just write the value of the_val into the table.

That's a good idea. How could I test for line-feeds in VBScript? (I'd rather do it in that if I can).

Never mind. I got it!

Thanks for your help.
