Larger message scroll box...

[Konoko]

Hi Kiri

Is it possible to make the scroll area message box larger when replying and doing new threads?

How does it work now? Is it a percentage thing or a certain width?

Can it be expanded?

Can you check the source of the page and tell me how many columns the textarea tag is set to for you? It seems to be set differently depending on browser. I increased it for Netscape 6 but I don't know which setting you're getting.

BTW, I made the text box longer too, since I misread your post at first, and what the heck? :)

This is in OmniWeb:
rows="30" cols="50"

I also use Netscape 4.7 for windoze at work occassionally. Should I check that too or will it work ok with the netscape 6 you've changed?


Thanks!

I changed it to 60 for both NS4 and NS6. I think OmniWeb is getting the NS4 settings. Let me know if that's not big enough for you.

Thanks Kiri...

Feel free to expand it more! I'm at 1280x1024 so there's lots more room to grow... :)

But I'm sure there are others not at this resolution...


Thanks Kiri!

Given that I usually browse at 600 wide or so, I don't think I want to make it any bigger, but if you want you can always edit your posts in a text editor then paste them in. As far as I know there's no way to make a textarea size based on percentage in HTML.
