My website consists of tables. www.mjb.netfirms.com (http://www.mjb.netfirms.com)

I recently found this great transparent textarea code from one of your forum members.

<div style="position: absolute; overflow: auto;height: 100; width: 150; top: 400; left:490">

I was able to insert this textarea into the page but it isn't locked into a table.
So it stays fixed while the rest of the images in the tables move when resizing
a window in Explorer.

Is there anyway to insert this textarea so it is fixed inside a table with a background image?

Also, can this textarea code be created so it cuts and pastes into other web layout tables?

Ideally I'd like a transparent textarea code that I could use for all my websites.

Thanks for your time,

Use this div tag, I took away the parts that made it go outside of the table:

<div style="overflow: auto;height: 100; width: 150;">

Sorry. I don't know html. When I replaced the div tag with yours it put the textarea underneath my panel. Is there a way to have a cut and paste for this textarea code?

change this...
<div style="position: absolute; overflow: auto;height: 100; width: 150; top: 400; left:490">

to this...
<div style="overflow: auto; height: 100px; width: 150px;">

now, move that div area to where you want it to appear inside the table you are talking about. it was the POSITION and LEFT and TOP that were making it appear in a certain spot. now it is free for you to place it where you need it.

Alright now it works.

Sorry I'm really new at this.
