hi everyone…

I am using a TextArea. I set its htmlText as follows:

```auto
textArea.htmlText = '<P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="14" COLOR="#FFFF00" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P>';

```

The problem is that there are always 2 lines in text area when it runs…when i remove this i get usual one line but then i m not able to set color and all.

I want to use textarea, set different colors on it and i dont want 2 lines in that…

Am i making sense…please ask if you dont understand my question.

Thanks alot for any help in advance.  
Regards
