textarea size in Netscape4.7

[pthompson2002]

Can anyone suggest why a textarea, set with cols="70" and rows="5" would appear bigger by quite a margin in Netscape 4.7 than it does in IE5+? Any suggestions woul be greatly appreciated!

HAHA,, I know of this problem my self hehehe :D

All I can say is that it just is... Netscape 4.7 just allways seemed to make texboxs textareas buttons most of your form elements bigger... Don't really know why hehe :D:D

I say lets just get rid of netscape all together :D

This works to get the text area identical sizes in IE and NN.

<font class="boxfont"><textarea name="forum" rows="2" cols="21" class="boxfont">Forums</textarea></font>


.boxfont {
font-weight : 500;
font-size : 12px;
font-family : 'Courier New', monospace;
}

Similar scripts work for text and select inputs...
