I don't understand why you'd want to do it on load...why not just set it
right to begin with? Well, assuming you have your reasons, you have 2
problems with your code
[1] you arenn't passing a reference to your textarea, you are just passing
an id, try to change that to:
onLoad="SetNewSize(document.getElementById('Deskto pText_Div_ta'));">
[2] Since you are using styles to set the width and height, you'll want to
change the code to
textarea.style.width = '900px';
textarea.style.height = 'YYYpx';

one that'll work on each keystroke:
<textarea name="x" onKeyUp="SetNewSize(this);" cols="5"
rows="4"></textarea> <script language="javascript">
function SetNewSize(textarea){
if (textarea.value.length > 5){

news:%2****************@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... can the rows and columns of a textarea element with an id be changed
on the fly ?
