[thelist] aligning textarea and text

[Joel D Canfield]

I want to use CSS to align a textarea with the accompanying explanatory
text, thus:

  ------------------------   Please put the correct information
 |                        |  in the textarea. Spell correctly, 
 |                        |  because we're very fussy.
 |                        |
  ------------------------

I've investigated 'text-align' and 'vertical-align' and the best I can
come up with is:

  ------------------------ 
 |                        | 
 |                        |
 |                        |
  ------------------------   Please put the correct information
  in the textarea. Spell correctly,  because we're very fussy.

thanks
