Yeah i must be wrong, its a feature...really
Bugs must be some group of insects,
there are more bugs then features anyhow.

don't worry about it. if people are stupid enough to use IE they get
what they deserve.

No - it is a "bug right". The bugs have the right to claim that it is
Samuel's fault.

Well while we are writting about bugs,
this seems another one: (offcourse in IE only)
http://www.fortron.net/kontakt.htm
Write some text in textarea field and notice
how the textarea field's width changes a little.
I was able to reduce this a lot, but this is the best i can do.
Don't know if i should cry or laugh about yet another bug..
that is: unless all the other browsers are wrong and it should alter the
width as IE does

I don't see that (IE6, Win 2k)

Yep.

The best thing to do with a bug is to just stamp it out:

I asumed it wouldn't work on IE6 either,
but i asumed wrong.
I tested it with IE 5.0 SP2, so far this is the only browser
that changes the width of the textarea.

The vast majority of web surfers use Microsoft's IE, and they are not
necessarily stupid. Many just don't know much about computers or
software. Just like there are many people out there driving cars who
know nothing about how they are made or being repaired.

That doesn't mean that authors should lower their standards to match IE.

Author to high standards and accept the cosmetic quirks that low grade
products like IE exhibit.

The width changed about a characters width on my system:

WinXP Pro
IE Ver 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1.020828-1920

....was OK in Opera 7

I wouldn't know how to fix this.
Opera indeed works fine, and so does Mozilla en Netscape.
I can live with it tough, but if someone know a way to fix this
then i'll beglad to hear about it.

Samuël,
Try this instead:

<form method="POST" action=""> /* move class from here */
<p class="formElement"> /* to here */
<label for="name">Naam:<br>
<input name="Name" id="name">
</label>
<br>
<label for="Email">E-mail:<br>
<input name="email" id="Email">
<br>
</label>
<label for="comments">Schrijf hier je bericht:<br>
<textarea name="comments" cols="30" rows="10" id="comments"
class="formElement"></textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Verzenden">
</label>
</p>
</form>

Seems to work here...
