justify form textarea

Dylan · 2004-12-10, 09:25 PM

How?

It's puzzling me

Dylan · 2004-12-10, 11:42 PM

Just to clarify, you know what
p align = justify
does right ?

Well, I want to do that to the text in a textarea

Give this a try, not sure if it will work though...

Code:

<textarea style='text-align:justify;' rows='#' cols='#'>stuff in text area</textarea>

After a bit of googling I found it can't be done using simple methods. One method I came across is the use of javax.swing.JTextPane |pissed|

I'm hoping there are easier methods I have not come across.

I don't think it is feasible with a plain textarea. You may want to use a Javascript-based replacement for textarea (with all the possible browser issues it may bring).

Here's one that I found out (but didn't try). With it, it will allow the writer to justify the text amongst other things.

http://www.codeproject.com/jscript/htmlArea.asp

From there, perhaps you could search for a Javascript that strictly does justify formatting... You didn't specify why you needed that though - if it's from a GUI perspective, you might want to do your form in Flash, although I can't bear those.

Entreri.

Well.. considering that the old align=justify aligns to the left and right margins, I would say that venturi's method should work just fine. Just add the margin sizes also to the style tag..
Seems like it should be fine..?

Not sure if justification can be done in a textarea. I know only of the wordwrap parameter. But you can have a look at microsoft's MSDN library at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp

Click on the left menu:
+ Web Development
++ HTML and CSS
+++ HTML and DHTML reference
++++ Objects
+++++ textArea

There you should find everything textarea tag supports.

Hope that helps,
Mark

According Miracle's link the simple solution Venturi proposed should work...

Quote myself - LOL! Now to the practical experience: according to the new gallery I made yesterday it doesn't work! At least I didn't get it to work... (it's the first time I'm using a textarea on a gallery).
