[happypuppy20]

Hi all savvy HTML Experts!

I thought I might be able to find here some nice help from the community!
I have an FBML page.

I want to have a TextArea box according to the Browser.

If IE ---> Use TextArea_A

Else ( all the rest FF ofcurse and the smaller once ) ---> Use TextArea_B


You got the point what I'm trying to achieve right?! different textarea box according to the browser..


So does anyone know a way around this ?

Thanks A TON in advance!

FBML is facebook mark up language and doesn't recognize (or deletes) MLs it won't use. For the listing see here.

The short answer is you can't do it. The long answer says you can but would need some serious study and probably isn't worth it just for FaceBook.

The better approach here, I think, is to explain what you are trying to accomplish. Using different code for different browsers should ONLY be a last resort and if you want to fix this page, the better way to do it is to find a way to avoid two versions of the code-- then it will probably work on facebook.
