with the following code inserted into a form on a quote submittal page i just
finished, you get one size text area in NN & a different size text field in IE
and an altogther and very much smaller size text field (along with input boxes
-- basically any form elements) when previewing in dreamweaver...makes me crazy
trying to standardize b/t the 2 browsers.

[begin code]

<tr>
<td align="right" valign="middle"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="-1">Description:</font></td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><textarea NAME="Description" cols="35" rows="8"
wrap="PHYSICAL"></textarea></td>
</tr>

[end code]
