This hack fixes the problem with Mozilla and the text area on the forum. Mozilla reads the width attribute different than netscape and causes the text area's to be narrow and very fustrating to use when you are typing in a lot of code or just a long message.

Description of what was changed:

I changed the function gettextareawidth to have mozilla use the width specified for IE instead of the width specified for Netscape.

I hope you all like my first hack.

That won't work, because Mozilla is not Netscape, so what you're doing is changing the widths for Netscape, and not Mozilla.

The default settings for all the browsers in the admin cp is correct. If you look at the code changes for this hack, you'll see that there is extra code that detects if the browser is indeed Mozilla, not Netscape or MSIE.

Then, it changes the text widths accordingly.

A screen shot of the Mozilla text window, after adjusting the text width in the style section, without the hack added. Actually, Mozilla is Netscape.

It is. But it worked like that with all of the Mozilla releases, prior to the full release of ver 1.0, including the nightly builds.

I downloaded this hack, but I'm not exactly sure how to install it.

Do I replace the first version of the function with the second? Do I put it in my main folder and just run the php file?

Me stoopid, but me love mozilla.

Recently upgraded to 2.2.8 and had to rehack.

Works great (I did it manually(!)).

Thanks. Great Idea, I'm surprised I didn't see this earlier. I was starting to get annoyed with the short text box area.

I'm looking to install this. So all you do is replace the gettextareawidth template with the file above?
