<html><head><title>Form Document</title>
<script language="JavaScript">

function sizeTextArea(){
var winWidth=top.document.all.mainFrame.width;
var winHeight=top.document.all.mainFrame.height;
// offsets of 20 and 40 prevented scrollbars appearing on window
document.myForm.textvar.style.width=winWidth-20;
document.myForm.textvar.style.height=winHeight-40;
}

</script>

<body onload="sizeTextArea();">
