That seems to be a FireFox issue, IE6 and Opera 9.01 seem to handle it quite 
 
well without it. 
 
  
 
The example I provided was simply a collection of my library clips that were  
 
previously written, and just needed to be combined. 
 
  
 
I have never run across the FireFox anomaly, I did not research it, textarea seemed 
 
a reasonable compromise. 
 
  
 
Something along  the following may suit your design appearance and still function. 
 
  
 
var myNodeScrollTop=myNode.scrollTop; 
 
var myNodeScrollLeft=myNode.scrollLeft; 
 
var myCaret=getCaret(myNode); 
 
myNode.value=myNode.value.toTitleCase(); 
 
if(myNode.scrollTop!=myNodeScrollTop) 
 
  { 
 
  myNode.scrollTop=myNodeScrollTop; 
 
  } 
 
  if(myNode.scrollLeft!=myNodeScrollLeft) 
 
  { 
 
  myNode.scrollLeft=myNodeScrollLeft; 
 
  } 
 
  
 
<textarea style="overflow:scroll;height:2.5em;" rows="2" cols="40" wrap="off" 
 
onfocus="Tcase(this)" onblur="Tcase()">
