(2003-05-21) Lazyweb Textarea Font

A LazyWeb request: browsers should allow you to use variable-spaced fonts in form inputs, esp in Text Area use (like where you edit a Wiki!). (And while you're at it stop making the default font Times/10!)

Jul10'03 update: hey, looks like you can set a style for a textarea::

<p>will have to try that.</p>
<p><strong>Oh my god I am such a happy camper. Writing in the browser just got 100% better!!!</strong> (It would still be nice to have that be user-controlled for the sites who don't tag it that way.)</p>
