Text questions

[jefito]

The only reason I started writing my own html is because I use many pages of text. When I "insert text", the editing box only lets me highlight so far and then stops. Is there any way arouand this? I'll explain it better:

For example, if I insert 8 paragraphs of text, or just write them as I'm working, when I want to edit let's say parapgraph 6 later on, the box only scrolls to maybe paragraph three. Therefore, I can't highlight and edit. I can't access the bottom portion.

Please help! any info on this would be helpful. This is a question I should have asked a year ago.

thanks,
Jeff

Do you need to grab the little handle at the bottom and extend the text box?

Thanks for the reply. It's not the sizing handles, but after I've inserted or typed the text. When I click out of it, then try to go back in and edit the scroll option will only let me go so far. The dotted grid around the text box is replaced by a solid gray outline that does not let me scroll to the bottom of lengthy text.

That means you are exceeding the size of the text box. You can use the down arrow key to scroll down and reach the bottom of the text box but it would be much better to simply break this into separate text boxes. This would be transparent to visitors to your site but would make editing much easier for yourself.

Thanks for the answer, that's the first definite answer to that problem I've ever recieved! Very much appreciated. The only problem is if I break it into separate boxes, firefox stacks them on top of each other. I've tried adjusting the boxes, moving them, but it dosen't matter.

Firefox, by the way, also offers no support, and their "webmaster" link has an invisible address that you have to right click on to find, otherwise it just redirects you to your own email account without mailing address. I discovered this by accident.
