Comment box (Textarea)

No..it’s all CSS, but that image is …. not too helpful ?
Can we not have a link ?

oh, it’s not online.. im currently working on localhost.

hm….take a screenshot of as much of the screen as possible in it’s current state and I’ll have a crack at it

oki, here it is.

in Firefox 1.0:

in IE 6:

and im using wp 1.5-beta-1 2005-01-03

you can see it on default theme…by change (white) “#fff” to black (testing) “#000” in style.css


#commentform #name, #commentform #email, #commentform #url, #commentform textarea {
background: #000;
border: 1px solid #333;
padding: .2em;
}


Have you checked the sizes – and chenged them around to play – of the comment area in wp-comments.php and the css ?

Can you vary the size of the white area at all ?

In IE, what happens if you type into that box ?

That’s because IE is adding a disabled scroll-bar area on the edge of your textbox. I forget how to fix this, but that’s the reason.

It might have something to do with setting the dimensions in CSS and then telling it something different in the <input type='textarea'...> tag.

Perfect! you’re right! unruly

I found a solution below:


#commentform textarea {
overflow:auto;
}


thanks guys.
