smokin, since this is the HTML forum and you mentioned dynamically generated text, what scripting language are you using? Oh, and welcome to the board!

Thanks Marcia, I am currently using ASP. Sorry for posting in the wrong forum, I just assume that this was a HTML bug. Umar

The text must be inserted directly after the <textarea> tag like this:
<textarea>$tezt</textarea>

What does the view source look like? Do you see new lines between <textarea> and $tezt?

Yeah, let's see the code. This really shouldn't be a problem.... Nick

Lisa, there are no new lines between <textarea> and $tezt when viewing source.

Then there is something interfering. <textarea>value</textarea> should display top left in the form window. Javascript or css on the page?

yes there is javascript: <TEXTAREA rows=7 cols=20 name="message" class="txt" style="font-weight: 600;" onfocus="document.frmContact.message.style.background='#FFFFFF', document.frmContact.enquiry.disabled=false" onblur="document.frmContact.message.style.background='silver'"> do you think this could be the problem?

Here you go Nick: <%if Request("enquiry") = "Send Comments" then %> <td> <TEXTAREA rows=7 cols=20 name="message" class="txt" style="font-weight: 600;" onfocus="document.frmContact.message.style.background='#FFFFFF', document.frmContact.enquiry.disabled=false" onblur="document.frmContact.message.style.background='silver'"> Thank you for your comments.. </TEXTAREA> </td> <%else%> <td> <TEXTAREA rows=7 cols=20 name="message" class="txt" onfocus="document.frmContact.message.style.background='#FFFFFF', document.frmContact.enquiry.disabled=false" onblur="document.frmContact.message.style.background='silver'"> </TEXTAREA> </td> <%end if%> smokin

Try this: <TEXTAREA rows=7 cols=20 name="message" class="txt" style="font-weight: 600;" onfocus="document.frmContact.message.style.background='#FFFFFF', document.frmContact.enquiry.disabled=false" onblur="document.frmContact.message.style.background='silver'">Thank you for your comments..</TEXTAREA>

Shoouldn't the CSS also be posted? I mean, his basic problem stated that text inside a textarea is positioned in the middle. I suspect there is a text-align:middle or something like that in the txt class he's assigning to the textarea.

Quite possibly but the fact that the message text is on a new line suggests a simpler explanation. Guess we wait and see.... Nick

Hi, Did you make the form in Vis Interdev? If so check if there are tab characters inserted in the html.
