I know how to use the multi-line but is there a way, so that a text field will expand or wrap as you type without the scroll bars. I have the multi-line set up right now, but becaure there are 2 out of 12 feilds that need it, it looks a little off balanced. I figured it would make the page look neater. For example: if you and of you have Xanga, go to update your profile (they added a new profile updater) and go to edit and just type jibberish, you can see how it exapands vertically as you type without scrollbars, therefore you see everything you type in one box without having to scroll.\n\nThanks in advance,\nJesika

Yes, you can do this with JavaScript. I'll update this answer with code in a few hours, as I'm away from my usual PC.\n\nUPDATE:\n\nHere's the answer, from another source:\n\nhttp://javascript.internet.com/forms/expanding-textbox.html

Yes they do.  Go to Format, then Cell, Click on the Allignment tab and put a check in the box next to "Wrap text".\n\nAfter you have entered your text, put your mouse at the line between the cell you are working in and the one above.  You will get 2 arrows (one pointing up and one point down) double click there and the cell height will expand automaticly.

Hi English Monster!\n\nAccording to 82ASK's IT Textpert, Notepad only has very simple error handling facilities. Not similar to front page which is more wysiwyg.\n\nHope this helps ;)

I don't think people understand that you meant a down arrow symbol, as opposed to a down arrow button for scrolling down. \n\nYou could always resort to using a lower-case v.\n\nLook : < > ^ v    <---- Isn't it cute? It's a wee little v!

The <MARQUEE> tag in HTML can be used to scroll text accross the screen.\n\nIt has the following parameters:\nWIDTH\nHEIGHT\nDIRECTION - LEFT | RIGHT\nBEHAVIOR - SCROLL | SLIDE | ALTERNATE\nSCROLLDELAY - In milliseconds (default is 500)\nSCROLLAMOUNT - Amount of pixels to jump each time (default is 6)\nLOOP - INFINITE | number of loops (default is INFINITE)\nBGCOLOR\nHSPACE - Horizontal space around the marquee\nVSPACE - Vertical space around the marquee\n\n\nIf you want to use JavaScript, you can have a few neat effects, such as glowing text or a pretty cool marquee.\n\nE-mail me if you're interested in some JavaScript text animations...

mine (dropdown menu) opened up into a new window allowing me to choose from a variety of options.  i don't know if it depends on the version of firefox you're running... but i find myself spending more and more time using mozilla and less with microflop every day.  since the toolbar is so versatile, i'm sure there's a way to change the search engine settings as well.  firefox's hallmark seems to be 'versatility'.\n\nps::: i'm not hiding anything either!

What specifically are you wanting to know? I'm going to make a few shots in the dark:\n\nQ: Are continuation pages a good idea or should I keep it to one page?\nA: Continuation pages are always preferred over squeezing a long letter to one page. Always maintain proper spacing.\n\nQ: Do I need a header for the continuation pages?\nA: Yes\n\nQ: What should be in the header of a continuation page and how should it be formatted?\nA: The header should include 3 things: the recipient's name, the date, and the page number. They should usually be right justified 1 inch from the top edge of the paper and there should be 3 returns after the page number, leaving 2 blank lines between the header and the letter's content. See this example letter: http://webbpro.net/letter_template.doc\n\nNote: Do not leave "widows" at the end of a page or "orphans" at the beginning. A widow is one line of a paragraph at the end of a page, with the rest of the paragraph continuing on the next page. An orphan is the last single line of a paragraph that started on the previous page. If at least 2 lines of the paragraph being split isn't on each page, insert a page break before the paragraph, or readjust the formatting of the document to adjust the paragraph's placement.\n\nI hope this answers your question.

It sounds like IE have not repaired their box level implementation.\nYou are defining the areas being 100% width (though its a very wacky way of doing it) and then you are adding a margin of 150px to the left edge.\nIE always used to mess up the margins and add them to the size of the div area hence one of the big problems when trying to code cross browser.\nWhy dont you just use:\n\nbody{margin;0px;padding:0px}\n.example{margin-left:150px}\n\nJust an idea ;O)\n\n-----\n\nFollowing on...\n\n.example{position:absolute; top:10px; margin-left:150px}\n\nThat will give you the top and left margins (per se) Why not just add a 10px top margin?\nThe absolute positioning will always start from 0,0 and seeing as a div area is a block by definition it always uses 100% of available screen width without you having to tell it.\n\nThrow us the URL you are working on and let us take a peek and see if we can spot something you may have missed ;O)\n\nOh, sometihng I forgot. Using absolute poitioning will not position it relative to another element, it will position it relative to the whole screen.

Well if you don't put pictures or special stuff in the left column you shouldn't have to scroll over left and right but doesn't stop others from doing this. You can get your own format for your profile and how ugly it is depends on what they choose. If theirs is ugly it shows their lack of style. The default is rather plain manilla envelope looking though. Myspace is taking over the world though so it can't be that bad.

Depends on what software you're using. If you use something like Photoshop, you just use the text tool, select where you want to type and type it. It just puts the words, without any distortion or white box.

"lines on the page" are merely a visual reminder of where you are. In general there is no reason to expect lines on a editable page. In theory, any area that provides a text cursor(usually a blinking vertical line) is eligible for text entry. Some such areas are "write protected" meaning the changes you attempt will be rejected(in these cases the cursor is available for copy selection).\n\nSending email has several requirements, but lines on the page is not one of them.\n\n1)a text space which will be interpreted as an email address to send to - required\n2)a text space which will be interpreted as an email address to send from - required -- messing with this field can be interpreted as fraud ... this area is normally filled automatically by the email software and may be "write protected"\n3)a text space for the subject of the email - there are many functions associated with this area, but, use or even presence is optional\n4)a text area for the message - required -- used or not\n\nThe website areas for sending email are always separate from the rest of the site requiring you to find the link to get there(signing up for an email account is usually required for an active link).\n\nIf you can read email which has the above items, then there should be an active link near by like "write" or "compose". There should also be nearby links for "reply" and "forward". All of these links lead to areas for sending email. On rare occasions you may even find lines on the page. Some email software has this as an option you can turn on and off. I think I have seen this as an option in MSWord as well.

physically type your browser address in when you start the change...about blank did this to me one time and it drove me nuts.I also went to the spacebar and back spaced one letter at a time and low and behold a window pops up with all the different choices for your web browser,click on the one you want when this happens

If you are in Internet Explorer, I've found that accidentally hitting CTRL and + will increase the size, hold them down and it zooms in CTRL and - will do the opposite.\n\nI only found this out today when I tried to do an underline(shft and -) but did ctrl and - instead. Took a while to work out what I'd done and how to correct it. But if you want big text, press ctrl and + and zoom in.

your questions are a little confusing, but let me try to answer:\n\nto make the background stretch the whole way of the page, you have to make it that big...or have it repeat and make it seamless so people don't realize the image isn't the full size. You can do such things with any graphics program, like macromedia fireworks, the Gimp, and photoshop. \n\nTo mess with the opacity of an element, you'll have to resort to css. You can search in google and find a great tutorial on that.\n\nI'm not quite sure what you mean about the post shortening at the end? If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, you can do it but it only works in firefox. Use the :hover thing is css, for example: \n\ntextarea{\nborder: 1px solid black;}\n\ntextarea:hover{\nborder: 1px solid red;}\n\nthat code would change the border from black to red when you hover over a textarea. You can do this with opacity and everything else, including backgrounds, too.\n\nhope I at least helped a little bit. Good luck!\n\nps- my xanga is xanga.com/flamehtmlstudios

A what you see si what you get editor allows you to see exactly where your placing things on your form. Which for some people is handy, however, there is no real benefit from doing it in notepad.\n\ntop open a form, you just use the tag:\n<form action="pagetoaction.php" type"GET or POST">\n\nYou then use tables and other normal html formatting to align things that way you want them. To add controls to the form you use \n<input type="type" name="blahblah">\n\nExample:\n\n<form action="this.php" method="POST">\nName: <input type="text" name="Name">\n<br />\n<input type="Submit" name="Submit" Value="Submit"\n</form>
