TEXTAREA size 1

[calista]

Can I define a TEXTAREA as a percentage? I am displaying several TEXTAREAs on my form for which I have defined ROWS and COLS to give the size. However, if the user has his/her screen set smaller, they cannot see the entire TEXAREA box. Although it wraps correctly, the last few columns on the right are off the screen. What can I do about this so the user sees the entire box regardless of how the screen display is set up? Thanks! Calista :-X

hmmm.... I have not faced such a problem as yet but I doubt there is such a thing to define the size of the text area as percentages..... if there is then beats me!!!


Have a good one

I should also probably point out that my form is formatted using a table with fixed column widths, and the TEXTAREAs use COLSPAN=3. Calista :-X

Try this, I didn't test it in netscape but we can guess that result

<textarea cols=&quot;60&quot; rows=&quot;5&quot; style=&quot;width:50%&quot;></textarea> » » » » » »

Perfect! Thanks, Mike! :-D As for Netscape(AARGH!!!), my intranet doesn't work with it, anyway, and I haven't gotten around to trying to fix it. Everyone here has IE by default, so they'll just have to live with it for now. Calista :-X
