Subject: Re: [xsl] empty textarea broken in IE6, mozilla From: "Jorge A. Salido" <jorgesalido@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 14 Nov 2002 13:21:57 -0600 |
Actually, I think this is easier than it appears, other than it doesn't allow a nice indentation. The problem really is that when you separate the <textarea> and </textarea> tags, anything between them becomes a part of what is supposed to be in the textarea. Simply try: <textarea name="comments" cols="50" rows="5" class="bodytext"></textarea> It should work just fine.
