Trying to make an IFrame or DIV look like a textarea

delraydog

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.infosystems.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.javascript question, though.
