so textarea never works! practicehtml.com isnt working

someone help me!!

Answer 1

u should use &lt;div&gt; instead

Answer 2

Works fine for me in both FireFox and IE. Although for IE it might look better if you add the overflow:auto property&amp;value.

It probably does not &quot;work&quot; because of the html around it. You can send me the code if you&#039;d like and I will take a look at it.

Answer 3

well u cant just call it a .com domain it costs money to do that, in ur browser, go into file&gt;open&gt; and then open the html file that u made

Answer 4

I see nothing wrong with that slice of code (aside from the order-width in the style but I&#039;m assuming that should be border-width) so like Alex B said there must be a problem with the surrounding code.

As a side note, you can combine the border properties.  Instead of using:

border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: 00CCFF;

you can just use:

border: 1px solid #00CCFF;

[edit]

Is the page online?  If it is it would be helpful if you provided a link so we can see it not working and the context it&#039;s in.
