justinbriggs1 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 My cursor appears in peculiar places in my text area depending on where it is clicked (like in the middle). I would like it to begin all input text from the top left corner when you click anywhere. The code is below: <textarea cols="40" rows="5" name="description" wrap=physical></textarea> If anyone knows an easy (or a difficult) way to fix this please let me know. Thanks,JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have tested it in Firefox and IE7 on 2 separate machines, but you can still click in the box anywhere where a column and row intersect and start typing.

justsomeguy Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 <textarea cols="40" rows="5" name="description" wrap=physical> </textarea> It's because of all the whitespace between the two tags. Put the ending tag directly after the beginning tag. Those spaces are what you're clicking on in the text area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
