I think you may be right. If you look at my code it works perfectly. I'm just pissed that it took something as stupid as getting the height of the textfield in 3 different variables. It actually works on the 2nd variable. You see I put all my code in functions. But, I don't use classes and prototypes and the like. I was thinking maybe it had something to do with that. Thanks for answering though. I posted the same question on a couple of forums and got no response at all.
