Textarea with 100% style appended

[altendew]

Hi I have a text box set to..

<textarea style="width: 100%" rows="5" name="refCode"></textarea>

Now say this textarea is in a table thats 500 pixels, and the textarea contains the string "sljfspejfesfnwsnsoenvesnvoisengoisnvoisneoivnseoiviosenvoisenoivnseoinvoisenvoisenvoinoiq3noin32oinsfsfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdf".

<table width="500">
<tr>
<td>
  <textarea style="width: 100%" rows="5" name="refCode">sljfspejfesfnwsnsoenvesnvoisengoisnvoisneoivnseoiviosenvoisenoivnseoinvoisenvoisenvoinoiq3noin32oinsfsfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdf</textarea>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Now since the width is set to a percentage the textarea will expand the table more than 500 pixels. How do I fix this??

<table width="500">
<tr>
<td>
  <textarea style="width: 100%" rows="5" name="refCode" wrap="VIRTUAL">sljfspejfesfnwsnsoenvesnvoisengoisnvoisneoivnseoiviosenvoisenoivnseoinvoisenvoisenvoinoiq3noin32oinsfsfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdf</textarea>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

The above works in my test.


Cheers!

I just tried that and it still didnt work on my site, can you give me a URL to where you did this??

Well i fixed it by using

style="width: 500px"

The table will expand to accomodate your text. Presumably you would have words with spaces in the real world and that would work ok.
