Font Size and Style control in TEXT and TEXTAREA form boxes.
Is there any way to control the size of the displayed font in TEXT and TEXTAREA form boxes in IE????
Netscape has always handled it, but IE does not appear to allow it.
This was only an annoyance until IE5. Now my problem is compounded by the fact that IE5 allows the user to set their text-size. I now have forms that extend well beyond the bounds I want. The workaround I am implementing is re-doing all the forms to check for IE5, and setting the width amaller.
Is their an object property that I can check to see what the users text-size is set to in IE5, and even better, can I change the setting or ignore it on my pages???
Thanks,
Tazman
