First I have to say Thx to Lissa and her great html tutorial site. I've learned a lot today from her by her site.

Two things which don't work with the Text area.
One, is the page anchor don't work inside the area. I want to have anchor links outside the area which will link to some parts in the text in the area.
I'm sure it could be done able, but I don't know how.
Two, other ppl (and me) can delete, change and write inside the text area. Is there a code to make the text read-only? The best would be if it was unselect-able, so no one can copy the text.

Hmm.. sounds to me like you should try using an iframe instead of a textarea. A textarea is just a form box that you can edit to say what you want. Inside it you can only have text, so no page anchors or images or anything fun. Also, because it is a form box it is editable and there's no way to stop that unless you use a "no left click" script, I know there is one out there but I don't have it handy.

Instead of a textarea, use a DIV.

<div style="overflow:auto; width:#px; height:#px;">
TEXT HERE
</div>

or if you stick with a textarea, then add this for non-editing...

readonly="readonly"

I think I will stick with the text area. I didn't get the iframe and DIV. :P Thx for the help.

try a search in the css forum area for absolute positioning.

It is a very good website, I'm sure it must have taken you quite some time! =)

Maybe some pictures? That would really make the website better. And then you could think about seeing if it is possible to change the format of the ringtones (eg. for Sharp phones, Samsungs etc.....)
One of the best ways to do one type is to put the notes (eg. C, D, E, F, G) on because my phone (Sharp GX10) uses music notes to form tunes)

Many ppl have asked me to make ringtones for other cellphones composer systems. Unfortunately I only know how to use the Nokia Composer.
There are some online ringtone converters on the net like this one: http://www.handphones.info/ringtone_converter/
It can't convert to Sharps Composer, but since the composer there is standard note sheet, you can convert the Nokia Ringtones manually. All you need is to understand the Nokia Ringtones, read here for info: http://freeringtone.ringtone-converters.com/how-to-compose-ringtones.html

I've thought about having some (more) pictures on my site, but I don't know if it would fit.

Errr...... I discovered a major error in my site. I use two backgrounds, I (on this computer) could only see both of them, others could only see one, the grey square background. But now I've fixed it and both of my backgrounds is up.
