I know the specification changed since we implemented forms and now you can create an textarea outside a form which can be handled by a srcipt. This change will be done as soon as possible. okay > it then asks for name of control .... null is acceptable ??? > but i now want to add style to the control .... > and the attribute menu item is a kludge --- one at a time > and none of the good ones applicable to textarea When you select the textarea the attribute menu displays all attributes applicable to it. It's what I tried to explain in my previous answer. nope IT DOES NOT a fresh textarea has rows and cols attributes set to someone elses preferences ... the attribute menu does not display rows OR cols for access (workarround is structure or source views i know) and once again this is awkward to select one at a time rather than a single dialog with all attributes sitting there i also suggested as a right click from mouse so one just needs to set focus on item and right click rather than looking for menus ((attribute menu could be left as a redundant method)) anyways this is just my take of the gui .... but i think your time should go to fixing things that are wrong first then things that are unimplemented after 5 years in the spec (any ccs1) ----- just stick gui improvements on the wish list for later days -- John Russell, VE3LL@RAC.CA http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3ll (2 L's as in LLAMA) check HTML at http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ check CSS at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ check JavaScript at http://www.crockford.com/javascript/jslint.htmlReceived on Thursday, 12 June 2003 12:46:53 GMT
