I've a style sheet with

.textarea { FONT: 14px arial, verdana, sans-serif;
background-image: url("../picts/shadeform.gif");
text-align: left; }

but the lines are to narrow, they stick to each other.

How can I ENLARGE the HEIGHT???

Thanks,

Sono (just starting with CSS)

Just use the width and height in the style

This was the bit of code i have been looking for! Thanks. It has produced a scroll bar and I wish to remove in, i have one it the main page so there is no reason for this extra one and also i would like to add a black border round it.

Thanks

Instead of setting a fixed height for the div, try setting the line-height for the text
<style type="text/css">
textarea
{
font: 14px arial, verdana, sans-serif;
background-image: url("../picts/shadeform.gif");
text-align: left;
line-height: 14px; /* set pixel spacing between lines */
}
</style>
