Hi i am a newbie and am having an issue with text boxes.

using the text box (under text menu) if the text i put in is longer than the page it seems to overlay the other things (buttons) on the screen.

using the text area (under select and input menu) solves this problem but is it possable to change the background colour of the “text area”???

Thanks
Gary

Hi Gary,

The upcoming 1.1 will make it possible to design taller pages than the device. But until then the TextArea is your next best friend. I confirmed that the Design Center does not provide a backgound color property for the TextArea. But you can modify the background color in the HTML runtime code as follows:

1) Open the <filename>.hml file and find the Id attribute of your <textarea> element.
example: <textarea id=”m1-Untitled1-textArea1” ….

2) Open the <filename>.css file and look for #Id where Id is the id attribute of the textarea
example:
#m1-Untitled1-textArea1{
height: 128px;
left: 40px;
top: 67px;
width: 240px;

background: RGB(255,0,0); /* <– change color red */
}

3) run in Test Center (actually I used the Test Center’s View Source action to open and edit the CSS directly

Fixed in MobiOne 1.1. Now you can design very tall scrolling user interfaces. Adding Fixed tag to thread title.
