Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/23530 Project: Drupal Version: 4.6.0 Component: base system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: Robin Monks Reported by: Robin Monks Updated by: Robin Monks Status: patch Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/xhtml_form__textarea_0.patch (1.06 KB) Oh my, anyways: Robin Robin Monks Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 24, 2005 - 17:19 : Robin Monks Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/xhtml_form__textarea.patch (1.53 KB) This patch uses CSS formatting to format textboxes (as per XHTML standards) and removes the wrap artifact (which was no longer needed as of NS2.0 and IE4.0). This patch uses "em" to format by character, this is backwards compatible with previous calls (give or take a few pixels). Robin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 24, 2005 - 19:14 : Thox XHTML 1.0 Strict: [1] [!ELEMENT textarea (#PCDATA)] [!-- multi-line text field --] [!ATTLIST textarea %attrs; %focus; name CDATA #IMPLIED / rows %Number; *#REQUIRED*/ / cols %Number; *#REQUIRED*/ disabled (disabled) #IMPLIED readonly (readonly) #IMPLIED onselect %Script; #IMPLIED onchange %Script; #IMPLIED ]Removing the rows and cols attributes is a terrible thing to do! That's making the validation problem worse - both are required. The only patch needed for textareas is to remove the wrap attribute - which is invalid (and isn't neccessary since IE 4).
