Textarea with numbered lines

I noticed that this thread may have been overlooked.

So, I found a screenshot to make it a little more clear what I'd like to accomplish, and quite possibly inspire dhtmlgoodies to include...

Sorry to keep posting to this, but..

I was thinking this through and thought that a possible method of doing this might be to create a vertically numbered image with the GD library and PHP, and then use that image as the background for the textarea.

WOW.

That is a very nice and simple method indeed.

The only thing I found that put a minor wrench in the works is that it's slightly buggy in Firefox (you must click on a line to get the left number column to adjust), and of course in Opera the number column doesn't adjust at all (I'm surprised Opera can display web pages at all lol ).

All I can say is, when I pasted the code and saved it, then displayed it in IE, I was blown away! Very good work indeed.

I just wish there was some way to get it to be more compatible with Opera and Firefox.

Thought some of you might find this example useful. They use a background image instead of a textarea to create line numbers.
