is it possible to absolute position text areas? I've tried editing the text area code over and over to fit in an absolute:position but it never works and just loiters in the top left corner ofthe screen. Anyone know how to solve this? :music:

make sure you added

style="position: absolute; left: #px; top: #px"

to your code. that should fix it [just change the bold parts to whatever pixel numbers you want] :)

The problem is, that's exactly what I have been doing.

<form><text_area rows="30" cols="20" style="background:url(http://img4.photobucket.com/albums/0703/ask_me_that_later/Website%20Layouts/Grey_Chessboard.jpg); font-family:verdana; font-size:xx-small; font-weight:bolder; color:#000000; border-style:dashed" border-color:#000000 "position:absolute; top:500px; left:500px;" >TEXT</text_area></form>

I dont know what I've done wrong, but all it does is hang about in the top corner, and nothing will shift it :(

*confuzzled*:music:

the position:absolute; top:500px; left:500px; needs to be inside the style part, like in the code i gave you. you put a quotation mark after border-style: dashed and that closed the style thing. so erase that quotation mark. and then it should work.

Thanks! I dont remember putting a quotation mark in there... my hand must have slipped or something ^-^;

I'll try it :music:
