using basic html, is it possible to make a text area span an entire cell of a table? i'm setting the column width by percetages so i can't just use charachter width. please help!

I've never seen such a thing. I know no other way than col="n" to set the textarea's width.

have you tried CSS? throw a style="width: 100%;" in the textarea tag and see what happens.

Tables and form elements have always been a little screwy, so I'm not sure if that even works.

The CSS mechansim should work just fine on CSS-compliant browsers. be sure to leave off the 'cols' attribute.
