Trying to make an IFrame or DIV look like a textarea

I'm trying to make either an IFrame or a DIV look 'exactly' like a
textarea. The problem I've run into with IFrames is not being able to
replace the 3D recessed border with a single pixel border. I've
illustrated a textarea and an IFrame in the HTML sample below which
shows my problem. I am willing to use a DIV but I do need the ability
to change the contents of the DIV using innerHTML as well.

Any suggestions? I've tried border="1", etc. to no avail.

Thanks,
Cliff.

A textarea looks different on different browsers and OSs. It can be styled
with CSS, too.
Which one were you trying to emulate? ;)
You might do better posting this to
comp.infosystem s.www.authoring.stylesheets...

And you can change the content of a div with either innerHTML or by using DOM
methods. That would be more a comp.lang.javas cript question, though.

Reading data from table cell or IFRAME
by: Reply Via Newsgroup | last post by:
Folks, I have a cell in a table that has an IFRAME - The IFRAME is empty (ie it has no source tag) but it does have a name (myFrame) and id (also called myFrame). I can write data to the frame, but cannot append to it - I know I could put a textarea form box in there, however that is my least prefered route in part because I have such little control over the display of the contents that appears inside a <textarea> are box.
