Re: Compose box too small

From my "On-Site CSS Markup" on the User Settings page:

textarea {
    width: 100%;
    height: 25em;
}
[download]

Feel free to adjust to suit your tastes. The textarea I'm typing in right now holds around 16 lines of Courier New 10pt, and the width is resized whenever I resize my browser window.

Much, much more can be found at PerlMonks CSS Examples

Update: added the '{'. Thanks to The Mad Hatter

Personallized CSS is a wonderful thing, but If I remember correctly, some browsers won't recognize CSS width/height attributes on textareas if said textareas are defined with "rows" and "cols" attributes (which the PM textareas are). I've never really minded the size of the textarea, but now that it's been pointed out, and given the push to make PM more CSS based, it seems like switching the textarea sizing to use CSS for sizing would be a good idea. and the example you listed seems like a good site default.

All I know is that I've used it with IE 6, Mozilla (multiple versions), Konqueror (3.1 and up) and Firefox with no problems. Can't speak for any other browsers.	[reply]

Thats pretty cool now ALL textarea's have that effect though. I wonder if we could get a class name attatched to that. Althouh i'm not sure it bugs me it just makes the user settings screen a bit wonky. I love my new reply box, ++ ! ___________ Eric Hodges	[reply]
