Cursor in the beginning of text field.

[opt_inf_env]

Hello,

I have created a form with a text-fields.

<textarea name="explanation" rows=6 cols=70>
</textarea>

What I don't like there is that if I click in the middle or end of one
of the fields cursor is set in position of 16 simbols from the
beginning of field. As if there is already 16 blank spaces in the
field. I tried to use value="" but it does not help. Do you know how
this problem can be solved?

Thank you.

Then my bet is that the code you pasted above isn't the same as the code in
the webpage (its always a good idea to provide a URL), and that the real
version has 16 spaces between the opening and closing tags of the element.

Which isn't much of a surprise - there is no value attribute for the
textarea element. http://validator.w3.org/

Not on my machine in IE. Please post your code and give a URL.

Here's what I tried:
<form name="form1" >
<textarea name="explanation" rows="6" cols="70"></textarea>
</form>

Which browser are you using?
Good Luck,

Unfortunately I made some changes in my document and problem
disappears. I do not know which changes were significant... I use
Microsof Internet Explorer. Nex time, if this problem appears I will
send URL with source...
