Howdy!
We are having a small problem with Lynx. Users are complaining about
some forms that we have set up on our intranet. In a text area, they
have enough room to type a paragraph or two. The problem is that the
text box allows them to enter more text then fits in the window. So,
when they want to preview what they've typed, they have to move back up
to each line and arrow left and arrow right to see the whole thing.
In Internet Explorer, there are no left-right scroll bars and you can see
everything you type. Since it's on the intranet, there is no access from
the outside world. I pasted the HTML of the form below. We are running
SCO 5.05 with Netscape Fast Start server. Lynx is at version 2.7.1 (per
the = key).
It appears that you're up to 2.8.2. I'm not sure what's involved with
upgrading on SCO, but I'll run it past our Sysadmin if that is the
answer.
