Description Netoholic 2005-07-25 21:05:50 UTC

Most noticable on Special:Emailuser, the textarea form field is compacted on IE.  
Due to an incompatibility (shock), the CSS specification of "width: 100%;" in the 
main.css of many skins fails.  The result is a textare field which is about 20 
characters wide.  Not very useful when writing an email.

Please correct these CSS files:

  monobook/IE60Fixes.css
  wikimania/IE60Fixes.css
  amethyst/IE60Fixes.css

Replace the current "textarea" specification with this:

  textarea { width: auto; }

This seems to restore it to working order.

Comment 1 Netoholic 2005-07-25 21:10:10 UTC

Alternatively, there is are workarounds which would require changing the form itself. Dunno 
how any of these look on other browsers though.

Actually, forget the resolution in the first section.  Textarea seems to work fin for editing boxes, 
just not on Special:Emailuser.

My IE installation under VirtualPC seems to be weirdly broken. Can someone with Windows test this?

Comment 4 Rob Church 2006-06-01 02:35:06 UTC

Looks fine to me now using IE 6. Fixed as of 1.6 at least, as far as I can tell.
