Answer 1

Have you set the rows="" and columns="" for the textarea ?

Answer 2

This sounds like it could be the peekaboo bug in IE6. Fortunately I don't have a locl copy of IE6 to verify that.

If that doesn't help, please post some representative code, including CSS.

Answer 3

Sounds really weird, can you post link so we can see it happening?

Also, any chance client side code is involved? To negate any chance of this, try disabling JavaScript in your browser, reload the page and see if it's still happening. (Enable JS again afterwards, of course :))

Answer 4

If you have any special char on the text area .then use text as your data type for that particular column in your database .Also set rows and columns and use firefox as a browser. sometimes it happen for special characters.
