Question about textarea in a table

Joel · 1st June 2011, 18:25

Is it possible to the textarea use all the space available in a table celll?
Even is resize, update, etc.

Thanks!

^ Sorry, Joel, but do you mean in an Excel?

I think he means HTML.

But... can I ask why you're wanting to put a textarea in a table?

I have just tried with pure css, but I had no luck (I'll be a bit miffed if you can't); it's certainly doable with Javascript though.

yup, sorry widdy is for a html page I'm working at, here is part of the code:

code:


<tr>

<td>Calificaci&oacute;n</td>

<td>Frecuencia</td>

<td rowspan="7"><textarea name="objSalida" cols="2" rows="2"></textarea></td>

</tr>

see the rowspan? I need the textarea to fill the spaces of the cell...

</html>

Something like that?
It should be some help at least.

Tables have padding and spacing you can set. It's not zero by defauit. Sometimes you feel like a style sheet.....
