Having trouble aligning <textarea> with CSS

Can someone please show me where to find information on centering a <textarea> tag with CSS?

Thank you!

 

Hi,

here is how I have done mine -

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
}
.textcontainer {
list-style-image: url(images/arrow.gif);
height: auto;
width: 600px;
padding: 10px 30px;
position: relative;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
white-space: normal;


}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope that helps

 

Ah I see you want information - this one is quite good -

Thanks for the reply.

This is the same method that I've been attemtping, and I am having a real problem. What does the HTML for your textarea look like?

 

Here's the html:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<div class="textcontainer">
<ul>
<li>
blaaaaaaaablaaaaaaaaa
</li>
<li>
blaaaaaaaablaaaaaaa
</li>
<li>
blaaaaaaaablaaaaaa
</li>
<li>
blaaaaaaablaaaaaaa
</li>
<li>
blaaaaaa blaaaaaaaa
<br>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This text container has listed contents as you can see. You can change the list and ul tags to <p> if you so require.

I have no idea if this is the best way to do things but it is working well for me at the moment. Also I have much more content in it than the example I
have provided and the length of the container does adjust automatically.

If you'd like more specific help please let me know.

 

Also I added this to my css file ....

--------------------------------------------------------------

}

body {
margin: 0; /* to avoid margins */
text-align: center; /* to correct the centering IE bug*/
}

----------------------------------------------------------------------

To help center the entire container (sorry but at the moment I can't remember exactly why I did it) but it fixed some sort of page layout problem for me in ie. I found this fix on the link I sent you for centering issues.

 

I'm actually using the <textarea> tag for my html. This is in input field, not listed text. It's actually the input for my mailform.

I am having a terrible hard time figuring out how text inputs behave with CSS...

My google searches have been mostly fruitless on this - although I do admit that I sometimes am too dumb to know what to search for.

Thank you for your replies.

 

If you pm me a link to your site where you want your form I may be able to help more. If you'd prefer to see my mailform same applies

And you're not thick, css is quite tricky to come to terms with unless you were born lucky
