on my site i have the following code: <textarea rows="5" cols="23"><a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://skinneralamod.com"><img src="Images/skinner.JPG" /></a></textarea>
of course, when i resize the screen, it remains at its same width. is there a way to work around that?Don't use Internet Explorer.
Mozilla, Netscape 6+, Safari, IE5-Mac and Opera will increase the width and height of a text area upon resizing the text. You might try specifying a width for the text area using ems as a unit of measure. If that doesn't work, refer to the first line in my post

If that doesn't work, refer to the first line in my post i'm not worried about increasing, it's the decreasing that i'm concerned about.
and don't worry, i don't even touch IE. i use opera 7.23.It's actually not too hard. Set the rows and cols attributes to get the rough size you want, then just override it with CSS.
<style type="text/css"><!--
textarea {
width: 50%;
}
--></style>

“A little black book?! BRILLIANT!!â€Â

Guy 1: What are you holding now?
Guy 2: A six pack
Guy 1: A six pack?... Brilliant! What's it do?

Guy 1: Carry six beers at the same time?... Brilliant! Let's drink them.
Guy 2: Ya know, I've been thinking. It might not be the smartest idea to drink 6 beers at the same time.
Guy 1: Don't drink six beers at the same time?... Brilliant!
Guy 2: Brilliant!
