The message area with StyleVar controls with width of the text input area used for posting messages etc. in vBulletin.
The red arrow indicates the width controlled by this StyleVar.This StyleVar will accept any value that is a valid entry for CSS width. Examples of valid values include the following:
- 540px (540 pixels, fixed width)
- 75% (75% of available width)
- auto (Expand to fill all available space)
Warning:
While it is possible to use values of 'auto' or a percentage width, testing has shown that many browsers produce unpredictable results when using these methods for the message width StyleVar.
It is therefore recommended that a fixed pixel value such as '540px' be used in this case.
