Hi, this variable is used at some places in phpMyAdmin, in input fields and textareas: tbl_properties.inc.php3: <input type="text" name="comment" style="width: <?php echo $cfgMaxInputsize;?>" maxlength="80"> However, it doesn't work in Netscape 4.x, but works in IE 5. Is this style="width: " an IE extension? I suggest to add a variable that we could use as the COLS attribute of TEXTAREAs. -- Marc Delisle Service de l'informatique Collège de Sherbrooke, Québec
