Forms and CSS Questions

Question

1) Is there a way to completely hide the IE scrollbar on textareas? (I'm primarily concerned with IE8) overflow: hidden or auto don't seem to work.

2) Is there a way to stop safari and chrome from "highlighting" focused form elements?

3) Is there a way to disable resizing of textareas?

Answer 1

1. overflow:hidden;
2. outline: none; (on the :focus pseudo-class of the element)
3. resize: none;

Answer 2

If worse comes to worst, you can absolute position a div on top of the scrollbar to hide it.
