I am willing to pay somebody to fix a small CSS issue in the 4.7 Spread FireFox theme.

When a user types anything in to a text area (node body, comment box etc.) the textarea width expands and goes outside the browser width to the right.

The problem only occurs in InternetExplorer.
People have looked in to this for me already, but nobody has solved it.

Please contact me if you cannot see this error on a fresh Drupal 4.7 + SpreadFirefox 4.7 theme install.

My suggestion would be check spreadfirefox.com's css files or structure of the pages maybe you can get a clue

its a big community, maybe they have fixed it, I don't suppose they are still working with a broken theme !!!

I encountered the same problem, and this worked for me:
(add it to your style.css):

.resizable-textarea {display:inline;}
.resizable-textarea textarea {width: 93% !important;}
.grippie {width: 93% !important;}

Thanks for the suggestion. We'd already tried this a few weeks back without any luck.

For testing purpose we have used a clean Drupal 4.7 + latest SpreadFirefox theme from CVS.

Do you require that JavaScript is turned off on the site too? So no textarea grippies?

tried setting form width?

form {
width: 99%;
}
adding this at the end of my css works fine for me.

Yes thankyou to everybody who replied over the weekend.

Two people both sent the same fix (which worked) so I will be contacting them to line their pockets with dosh.

For reference the correct fix was:

form {
 width: 99%;
}

Such a simple fix (!) ufku explains - '100% causes some small overflows for my configuration. 99 is perfect. you
may also try fixed width values.'
