I have a form containing a table whose cells include prompt
text strings and input areas, one of which is a textarea.
These are specified using only percent values, and I use
some simple javascript to expand the table to the available
window width. So whether the screen is maximized or partially
minimized, the table fits snugly in the available display.
The trouble is if I include a 'cols=' spec for the textarea box
its width stays fixed regardless of the actual window width,
which messes up my table width, and if I don't use a 'cols='
spec then the textarea decides to use a ridiculously small
value and the text ends up looking like that mouse tail poem
in Alice in Wonderland!
So is there a simple way, in HTML (preferably) or JavaScript,
to indicate that a textarea box should be rendered expanded
horizontally to fit the entire table cell?
Cheers

No, there's no attribute you could stick in a textarea for that purpose.
But you could try a stylesheet, something like this:
textarea {width:100%;}
Browser support may vary, as usual.

Sure. In your stylesheet, add:
textarea {
width: 90%;
}
....you *are* using stylesheets for layout, right? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

It's sad to say, but when using the AOL web site, like to send an
email, they have a nifty capability such that when a window is
resized, the textarea where the message is input expands not only
horizontally, but also vertically, to fill the space.
I took a look at their javascripts, but they are quite complex and
convoluted since they make use of many of their own functions designed
to work with their web site.

Hi,
Here's the problem I want to solve. Suppose you design an HTML FORM
with three elements of INPUT, TEXTAREA AND SUBMIT, you specify the
length for the INPUT box as Size="30" and MaxLen="50", now, when a
user sees the FORM, begins to enter some data in the INPUT box, and he
uses up all the 30 spaces for the INPUT box, and your business rule
allows him to enter more than 30 characters including spaces (to be
precise 50 in this case),...

Can someone please tell me how (or "if" it is even possible) to change
selected text in a textarea?
Specifically, say a user has highlighted "ppl" of the word "apple",
using a mouse. Is there a way to have the (usally blue) highlight
expand to the character to the left and right of the original
highlight, which is to say, highlight the entire word?

I've got a grid that uses paging and displays a maximum of 10 records

Sometimes the fields have a lot of data in them and the datagrid takes
up way too much horizontal space. I've tried setting the height and it
doesn't do anything. I can set the width to some very large number
like 3000px and that works ok, but it's a waste when the data doesn't
require that much space.
Is there a way to limit the height of the grid or of...

I would like to achieve an effect similar to the code outlining in
vs.net (where you can expand and collapse sections of code) inside of
a textarea in a web form.
the code outlining would be available on encountering certain reserve
words and have expand/collapse ability (just like in an IDE).
any suggestions of how to do this? would it require a different
"control" (i.e. not text area), specially if I wanted to add +/- signs?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
