There seems to be some strange bug with the textarea tag and opacity: As soon as you define the alpha of a textarea (even when the alpha is 100% = completely non-opaque = 100% visible) the the text area refuses to update the text.

Try this:


<html>
<body>
<textarea style="filter:alpha(opacity=100);"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Ut ligula. Quisque varius, orci at pretium nonummy, eros nunc commodo turpis, at auctor diam nibh eget augue. Nulla ullamcorper. Mauris magna. Nullam purus orci, commodo eget, sollicitudin sit amet, aliquam vitae, libero. Maecenas quis wisi eu neque euismod vestibulum. Fusce aliquet. In felis sapien, egestas non, interdum eget, lacinia quis, augue. Vestibulum vel pede in tortor scelerisque egestas. Nullam commodo tempor ligula. Pellentesque id dolor. Maecenas id dolor vel odio sodales consectetuer. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos hymenaeos. Ut id nulla. Duis vel eros eu lectus tincidunt sodales. Quisque congue tortor vitae elit. Phasellus feugiat euismod nunc. Praesent eu neque sagittis pede auctor fringilla. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Quisque imperdiet orci malesuada tortor.
</textarea>
</body>
</html>

If you use your cursors to scroll around then the text does NOT scroll.

Except if you use the mouse or if you use shift-down.

FIREFOX is OK.

See an example at :
<No URLs, thanks. See TOS [WebmasterWorld.com] and CSS Forum Charter [WebmasterWorld.com]>

At the end of that page you will find a "Quick Reply" box with a textarea that shows this effect.

Anyone with an idea how to circumvent this?

No, sorry, my problem is not related to that thread.
