Not clear how to vertically align the text in a TextBox

[olddave]

Hi,

I have several TextBox in my UI. When you click in them the cursor sits in the middle vertically when I need it to sit at the top of the TextBox. I know that style="vertical-align:top" only works for <td> so how do we do it for TextBox?

I also use scrollbar as the Overflow.

Thx.

Hey David,
Can you post a component file that shows what is happening?

I have not seen that effect and could look at your screen if you want.

You mean the edit carat (text | vertical bar cursor) shows up in the middle of the text area?

I assume you have a textarea instead of a textbox since that's the one with multiple line to even have a "middle" from the top rather than "middle" from the left.

Do you have padding that's applied to the textarea, maybe?

Anyway, if you open Firebug and inspect the CSS on the textbox/textarea, you should be able to find out what's causing it.
