TEXTAREA DIMENSIONS AND MSNTV TEXT SIZE SETTINGS by Flo
Most MSNTV users know that we can set how large the text size appears onscreen--small, medium or large. When we make a textarea box, it's important to know how it will look at the various text settings. The following codes work, using the default font size of 3: SMALL: Full screen width and height: <form><textarea cols="67" rows="23"> CONTENT HERE</textarea></form> MEDIUM: Full screen width and height: <form><textarea cols="67" rows="20"> CONTENT HERE</textarea></form> LARGE: Full screen width and height: <form><textarea cols="67" rows="18"> CONTENT HERE</textarea></form> For a textarea box to center and still look good, choose cols="60."
NUMBER OF TEXT ROWS VISIBLE ON ONE SCREEN WIDTH AND HEIGHT
From the above figures, we can extrapolate that, using the default font size of 3, there will be 23 rows of text visible onscreen at small; 20 at medium and only 18 at large. If you need to over-ride your viewers' text settings so the whole page is visible onscreen, then you must add your own text setting size to the page's body tag: fontsize="small" (medium or large) This is especially important if you are using CSS codes to place chunks of data and images precisely on a page. Check how the page works at the two settings you are not using. You'll be glad you did.
