Adding style="overflow:hidden;" to the <textarea> tag will get rid of the control, but I think you'll still have the same problem w/the width.

I've run into this problem before, I don't think I've ever actually understood it. On this page http://scotaganda.com/work/MineKey/opinionsBoard.html the "Express your opinion" textarea is fine in firefox, but both safari and ie place "control" on the right hand side of the textarea, which makes it grow about 8px, and break the layout. I'm not sure of the correct way to get this thing to behave, and I'd rather not keep poking around in the dark here I have a div wrapped around it, with the correct width, and I'm not sure why just setting the textarea's width to 100% won't correctly display, any help here? ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
