Greetings all.
I would like to know how to make a textboxs height = the height of the
cell it's in minus 10 px or what ever number..
Using 90% for height does not work as I need it to be exactly so many
px less than the total height and with %'s it's too dynamic from small
to large screens.
Thanks for any help!
Jeff

Use CSS, and set the textbox's margin to the appropriate value, and its
height to 100%. Totally untested, as I try to avoid tables for layout,
as should you.
Dynamic (fluid) layout is a good thing.

Please log in for more thread options Thanks Mark. I actually ended up setting a 20 px bottom-padding
value. I think margin on the textbox would have worked also, but this
way I didn't have to edit my CSS (not a big deal either).
I've always used tables for my layouts, how could you otherwise and
still have borders and such? Do you have any site examples that don't
use tables for layout?
Thanks again.
