    Hello,

    I have looked through the postings but couldn't find anyone who posted a similar question.

    When I put a multi-line text box into my form, and use "free text" and under "advanced" use:
    Dimension of input box: 60 characters, 4 lines

    It looks and works just fine, but, if you click the lower right corner handle and drag it larger, it can easily become larger than the page format itself, thereby nullifying any attempt to use a nice formatted layout.

    Is there any way to limit how large the box can be enlarged to? Or better yet, stop the box from being enlarged at all?

    My test form is here:

    Thanks!

    Hello Lynn,

    That is an option added by the browser you are using ( webkit: FF, Chrome, Safari ). You can disable it using CSS as described here:

    Put the relevant CSS into your custom code block inside a:
    <style>

    </style>
    block.

    Hi dbuschho,

    Thanks for your quick response... and the link...

    using:

    <style type="text/css">
    textarea {
    resize: none;
    }
    </style>

    worked like a charm.. I will now put it only all of my forms.

    Many thanks!

    Lynn
