Text in a textbox

[pphillips]

On my webform I have a textbox. When the page loads I put some text in the textbox. The text is 2 sentences and all I want to do is to put the sentences on different lines.

It use to be so simple:

textbox1.text = "Sentence1." & vbCrLf & "Sentence2."

The above doesn't seem to work the sentences are on the same line.

Please help with this simple thing.....

Thanks

I tried the multiline option but it has the scroll bar on it and I don't want to see the scroll bars. If you know of a way to get rid of the scroll bars, please let me know.

Sure. Use an editable Div instead. You can make it look any way you want it
to. If you need server-side functionality, use the Panel Control, which
renders a Div.

Paul,

You'll have to set the text box to multi-line to get your two lines of text.

One way to get rid of the scroll bar would be to use cascading style sheets:

..TextBox {
overflow: hidden
}

You could add this to your page's style sheet and then assign ".TextBox" to
the CssStyle of the text box.

The choices you may assign to overflow are:

auto - If the content is clipped, the browser should display a scroll-bar to
see the rest of the content

hidden - The content is clipped, but the browser does not display a
scroll-bar to see the rest of the content

scroll - The content is clipped, but the browser displays a scroll-bar to
see the rest of the content

visible - The content is not clipped. It renders outside the element.

This is a better solution than the div solution I offered, if the content is
supposed to be editable, and if the content should be posted back to the
server.
