I have a client with a Web form page, with an open Text Area field on it. I have it sized at around 10 rows, 70 columns, though of course it will accept more text than that.
The complication is, the form is not made to be submitted online, but rather printed out and submitted as hard copy. So someone could print it out blank, fill it out by hand and turn it in, or else type the content in the browser, then print it.
This has been working fine for them, except when someone enters a lot of text in the Text Area field, which then prints out at the designated size, and cuts off some of the content. Is there any way to force the field to expand to fit the amount of text it contains?
(I know having an online form solely meant to be printed out probably violates a lot of "user expectation/best practices" rules, but there are a variety of reasons they want this particular form turned in as hard copy only.)
Thanks,
Keith
