Text area display problem in IE7 Browser

Question

In our application we have a text area with row size 20 . Earlier when we were using the IE6 browser then the text area was displaying properly on screen but after switching over IE7 browser we have seen that after filling up 20 lines a active scroll bar start displaying with text area and only 19 lines are displaying in text area and 1 line is hiding in scroll bar and to check that 1 line we have to use the scroll bar. Please note that our text area's row size is 20 which means it should display 20 lines without active scrollbar which was happening in IE6 browser but not happening in IE7.

We are not sure whether anybody else have faced this kind of problem before.

Answer 1

Could you have a CSS rule somewhere setting the physical height of the textarea?

Answer 2

You might try applying the Overflow property to the CSS for the text area. Try overflow:auto; or overflow:hidden;. The last one will eliminate all scroll bars though. You could also try changing the border-width: thin;

Answer 3

I think you are using overflow:scroll, make it as overflow:auto.i checked it,it's working!

Answer 4

Guys..as of now we have done some workaround by using bottom-padding to text area.....by doing this all the contents are dislaying properly in text area boxes but still the active scroll bar remains with the text area box.

let us know if you guys having any different solution.
