Textarea displaying odd in IE 8

Highway 596 24 Apr, 2011
Hi folks,

I've got a chronoform called into an article that's doing some strange things. The <textarea> is what's specifically triggering the issue. When present, the textarea is causing everything coming after it in the article to disappear. When the textarea is removed from the chronoform code, the page displays just fine. The strangest part of it all is that I have actually seen the page render properly, only a few times, and seemingly at random. Something about that textarea is causing issues but there is another chronoform elsewhere that displays just fine. It's fine in Safari and FF, haven't tried other IE versions yet. Pretty stumped and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the page that's looking odd. There is some type, an audio player, a submit button and a checkbox all supposed to appear after the textarea:

Hi Highway596,

IT looks as though your CSS has some odd problems. The cs-container div for the textarea has a variable height - I've seen 597px and 731px - set in an in-line style. I'd guess that your JQuery is relating it somehow to the browser window or viewport size. IE8 takes that at face value and makes the box very high.
