textarea problem

[Raiden]

hey guyz im having a problem with the textarea that i made when i click it the cursor starts blinking in the middle of the first line rather than the beginning of the line … any idea why it might be doing that ??? help plz :)

Help how? We have nothing to go on but your word. Post a link? It could be that you set the text to center.

sorry i didnt upload it or anything, so cant give link =/

textarea name=”visiterComment” id=”textArea” rows=”20″ cols=”120″

and then i closed the tags … thats all i wrote … and the textarea shows but when i click on the textarea the cursor comes at the center of the fist line rather than the beginning

I don’t see the issue with that line of code. Do you have any CSS?

[Raiden]

i tried that still it does the same… so i removed the rows and cols and styled it with
#mainContent textarea
{
width: 800px;
height: 200px;
text-align: left;
}
and sadly still no luck =/

[Raiden]

what code do you need ?? ill show you

[Raiden]

well there’s nothing much to the code its on a blank page at the moment :P
div id=”mainContent”
form action=”insertcomment.php” method=”post”
textarea name=”visiterComment” id=”textArea”
/textarea

input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”Leave a Comment” /
/form
/div

….. along with the css i gave above

Put your closing textarea tag on the same line as the opening. That work?
