Valerie's version causes some display glitches in Opera. In version 9.26, scrolling the textarea causes white artefacts to partially obscure the text. These are gone in the latest 9.5 weekly, but the overlay does partly (50%) cover the vertical scrollbar and its bottom arrow button. -- Richard Grevers, New Plymouth, New Zealand Dramatic Design www.dramatic.co.nz ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
