  • Wider please !!

    Sometimes, we have the makings of novelists. But, there is a big limitation to our creativity:

    The editing area.

    Can't you do it as wide as the right column of the tab ?


    Thank you

    I dont think you can make the width of a text box relative to the page size, you can only set it to an absolute value, which in return might not show up right on smaller sized screens.

    However, if you type it first in MS Word you can also do a spelling and grammar check

      Yes you can. HTML option. You can express a control's size by percent of the browser dimension.
      Juste look at the table (one column left, one colum right). Did you noticed that the left column is of a fixed size, but the right one adapt itselves when you modify your browser's dimension (browser = IE or netscape)

      If I type it on notepad for instance, I have to pass again over the message to carry correctly the line feeds.

        Actually I'm right, you can't use relative values for a text field. Yes I know you can use it for Table widths, image widths, horizontal bars, and several other things but with form fields you have to use an integer, not a percent.

        Try it out for yourself, its not possible with HTML ... I'm not sure if its possible with CSS

          Yes, you were. I don't think there is something to do with CSS neither. It should be possible to do with JavaScript, given the existence of a function performing the conversion between a number of pixels and a number of rows.

          By the way, it should be some incompatibilities between versions. What about creating an option in users' profile concerning the width and height of the edit box ?
