No Scrollbar in Text Area

[Former Member]

Hi,

does someone know, why the form item "text area" doesn't have scroll bars. I think thats very problematically when the input text is longer than the shown text area.

Is there an option which I can select to add the scrollbars to an text area, or is there no possibility?

Thanks

I do have a scrollbar show up, but only if the text is long enough.

Hi Prakash,

you're right.

I think I solved it my own.

When the Text Area height is smaller than 40 (in my case), the srcollbar wont be shown.

Thanks Steve

You may add a style="overflow: hidden" attribute to your textarea. The values of the overflow attribute mean:

visible = show content in all cases

hidden = don't show overlapping parts

scroll = show scrollbars

auto = let the browser decide when scrollbars are necessary

Hi Bernd,

I dont know where I can add the style-attribut, directly in the xml-code?

But I cannot change the XLM-Code, and why isnt there a checkbox int the properties of TextArea?
