    Hi,

    I searched the webs and found nothing about this. Is this possible to set tab size in <TEXTAREA> and <PRE>?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Can you even do this? Wouldn't it tab out to the next element?


    Edit:Tried it in a test form in IE...and it does in fact tab out to the next element in the form. (for the textarea anyways)

    When paste text from, say, notepad, we may have the tabs in the textarea.
    The textarea tab size is 8 characters by default, I need to set to 4 or some other size.
