<br>Yes, thanks Paul.<br>I was suckered by inspect showing "height" and "height" going blue in the code window.<br><br>So now if there is no text in the field to begin with, the box doesn't collapse, but the text is some tiny default, even if I set it explicitly in the icon.<br>This is quite the PITA for a simple text entry. I forget Flash really does suck in some regards.<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 13:30:32 -0800<br>From: Paul.Swanson@harlandfs.com<br>To: xerte@lists.nottingham.ac.uk<br>Subject: [Xerte] Re: Text Entry scroll = auto<br><br>
