Re^5: Estimating height of TEXTAREA from content

I have to put something in the character width and character height of the TEXTAREA. Tell me how not to fight it.

Users know how to operate scrollbars. In other words, don't worry about it. Use natural numbers that make sense for your overall design, and if it ends up with scrollbars, that's life.

I know how to operate scrollbars. That doesn't mean I like to use them. Personally, I think that if I need to edit something, that who ever wants me to edit something should fire up `$VISUAL`.	[reply]

That's what I did originally and then users complained about the fact that they had to operate two scrollbars (one for the browser, one for the textarea), the dynamic sizing was in response to that. -Andrew. Andrew Tomazos \| andrew@tomazos.com \| www.tomazos.com	[reply]
