Text_area

[benslayton]

how do I change the background on a text area. I thiught DD had a script for this but couldnt find it.

You mean a form test area? Like this:

<form>
<textarea style="background-color: #cc6600" name="textarea"></textarea>
</form>

You could do the same with CSS. Use the code from above, basically.

Eh, that doesnt work out right. I guess since i'm using the WYSIWYG editor, it works differently. Know how to change that.

[benslayton]

Never mind found a different solution. But thanks.

[djr33]

Yeah, that already has code in the css that the editor uses. change it there; seems like you found that though.

[benslayton]

No actually I didnt. I just went into Dreamweaver and added, the text color as white, instead of none. So when I submit black text that has A black background it shows up as white, Or the color I specify (eg: blue, green, red....) you get the point dont you?

Oh and this was for the comment board that I redone.

what about the size of the text area? make it longer/shorter.
what tag would that be?

[djr33]

dunno if it's in css, but that should be easy enough to find.

In the tag, I believe its:
<textarea rows="50" columns="10">
Or, it's
<textarea rowspan="50" colspan="10">

I can't remember. Just try those.
