RE: textarea -- WEB400

Actually I believe this capability is a function of CSS , not
HTML/XHTML. You need to use the <tbody></tbody> tags along with the
<thead></thead> and/or <tfoot></tfoot> tags. Basically you use the style
of the <tbody> element to specify the size of the element and then also
specify overflow:auto or overflow:scroll. This will give you a fixed
header and/or footer with a scrollable body. Of course if your table is
too wide for the window as well as being to long, you may need to use
some javascript to keep the head and/or foot sections horizontally
aligned. The problem with this is that while it works fine in mozilla,
firefox, and probably the other non-IE browsers, it doesn't work in IE.
What I have done to emulate this in IE is to copy the thead and tfoot
sections into two new tables placed before and after the existing table,
and then set the display style of the thead and tfoot sections of the
body table to none. The code is kind of ugly but it works.

The new version of XHTML, which isn't widely supported yet, has new
capabilities for HTML Tables that give you subfile-like capabilities.
That
is the tables can have a scroll bar on the right side, similar to the
textarea tag. 
As fare as the indentation, as Scott noted, check the leading blanks in
the
output HTML by using the VIEW | SOURCE option from the browser and see
if
the system embedded blanks into the leading end of your text.

Subject: [WEB400] textarea

I'm loading a textarea with information coming from a file (CGI and
RPG). Does anyone know why the first line of the textarea is always
intended? Also is there anything other than a textarea that could be
used to function like a subfile? I'm guessing with HTML there isn't.
