<br>
I searched lists etc., but didnt find an answer to a quite trivial<br>
question:<br>
<br>
I need a text box with a coloured background. It should surround the<br>
text in a adjustable distance; the background should expand when more<br>
text is typed into the text box.<br>
<br>
Sorry to bore you with such a stupid thing - cant belive this<br>
&quot;feature&quot; really is for the wishlist?<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
