hi
i am also wondering whether this is possible.
on my first attempt at replacing the <input type = "text"> with a <textarea> (bearing in mind my php is not great) i have had to add a submit button as <return> puts in a line feed into the text area box rather than sending the message to the screen.
there seems to be problems though if you put in a carriage return and then continue writing text. when submit is then pressed the message is not displayed on the screen.
im going to continue "fiddling" with this today but if anyone can offer any assistance i'd be very grateful.
thanks
