I don't see that at all.
You have rows and cols listed twice.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. <TEXTAREA Name="notes" rows=4 Cols="70" onfocus="focuscolor(this)" onblur='javascript:blurcolor(this);' class="input" wrap="VIRTUAL">

I wrote it like this and it's working. I am not facing any problem. if u have problem I think just chk 'onFocus' and 'onBlur' maybe u r not wrote them correctly or something else


<TEXTAREA Name="notes" Cols="70" rows="4" wrap="virtual" class="input" onfocus="focuscolor(this)" onblur='javascript:blurcolor(this);'></TEXTAREA>

I found this forum very useful at times and I believe I should share some knowledge with you as well.

The problem is fixed in FF by correctly declaring the order of your rows and cols values.

You need to declare rows=" " first and then cols=" "

I don't think that makes a difference, and it shouldn't. I don't recall this thread but noticed he is using the 'wrap' attribute which is proprietary to IE and isn't a standard.

Hi. I think that happens when you write a veeeeery long string. In example, when you want to test your fields, maybe, you enter a lot of chars:

akjshdakljshdkalsdhfoiuahlkew4rfhawiorhlaiweurhlia wevurhlia

when this string is larger than the textarea's width, FF has no option but scroll horizontally....

But if you separate it, like

laksjdalksj laksjdlkasj jlaksjdlaks akjsdkak lak kajska jha

Firefox will scroll as It shoulds...

Hope to be helpfull.

PD: Sorry for my english.
