Re: [LUG] [Slightly OT] html forms

[Tony Atkin <tone_pl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm...  

I have quite a few <textarea> forms but I can't reproduce that bug 
with IE 5.0 or 5.5.  

The only (perhaps) related bug I have found with IE5 that when I have 
an image larger than the display area, the off screen portions are not 
rendered when you scroll onto them (until you hit refresh)  I have 
always thought of that as a browser bug but may be wrong.
