Change Input type="text" to Textarea

[Camile]

I'm working with a simple form that uses an Input type="text" for a line of
text limited to a predetermined number of characters. As follows:

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" class="text" id="mess" name="messtext" maxlength="100"
size="60"
onKeyUp="Count('mess','cntdis','{CHAR} characters left.',160);"><br><span
id="cntdis" class="smalltext">160 characters left.</span></td>



I want to convert it to use Textarea so it can be a small square form. I
can't seem to make my Textarea syntax work in place of the Input
Type="text".



<TEXTAREA cols="40" rows="5" id="mess" name="messtext"></textarea>



The Textarea box displays with the OnKeyup and count(stuff).



Any suggestions?

<TEXTAREA cols="40" rows="5" id="mess" name="messtext"></textarea>
OK.

The Textarea box displays with the OnKeyup and count(stuff).

Maybe your actual document contains something else than the snippet you
posted.

Any suggestions?
