[SOLVED] Extra space showing in Text Areas

You can see it here, by clicking the Contact Us links or post a comment, the tinyMCE text area has this extra to the right.  I have the same config used in two other installs and there's no extra on the right.  I checked the DarkWater skin on the demo and it has the same behavior, so that answered the question of maybe missing something getting the skin to work for 3.0..  I just can't seem to find what's causing it.  When I view source I'm thinking the column and row designation perhaps?  Truth be told I'm outta ideas of where to look to fix this.  Any ideas you can throw my way would be appreciated.

I even copied over the CSS for the textarea and input boxes from another 3.0 skin where it didn't have that extra space on the right.  Still, no dice.

Where the problem can be seen:

Same thing happening on the demo: [viewing with the Darkwater Skin]

But not a problem where you view my site in another skin:

Appreciate any suggestions at where to look or what to check for.  πŸ™‚

I've only edited index.tpl to add in blocks I wanted to show up there.  Beyond that no.  I've looked at them to see if there was a styling element listed that I may have missed or if the form was inside a p element as I read that tinyMCE wouldn't function properly within one.  It's all divs, which is what it should be.  I can't help but feel it's a CSS element since I can view my site in the other skins and that extra is gone.  I just can't figure out what's controlling it.  And perhaps it's cause I've been fiddling with stuff in the css file so much I can't 'see' anything anymore πŸ˜›

Hmm.. that reminds me of some of the padding problems I see on some of my skins. It's something in the css file, I would say definitely. I think it's either the forms, or  something used in your css file that the tinyMCE uses too (like the name for a column, or div).

My contact us form has grey padding around it:

Looking at it with my table skins (green) or mischief skin, there is no grey inside at all.

With the syie2 skin, it has padding on the top and bottom only.

I haven't quite figured it out, what causes it, but the css style file I copied from CSSZen is the one without any padding. That's the one I used for all my table skins. I would suggest that you try to do your skin over using that style sheet, adding just the colors and index page css parts to it to see if that fixes it.


Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

Yeah it's something in your css most likely.

Where's the light bulb smilie?  πŸ˜€

Jan, your link to your form was just the thing I needed.  Cue light bulb. I was right about it being a CSS element.  There was a th,td element where the padding was causing the problem, set to just padding-left [dunno how I missed that].  Edited and it's all right as rain.  Chelle happy  πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€
I now dub thee, resolved. Pour the libations
