Hi Teddy,
It won't. The text field will keep expanding, or, if it is coded so that
its length attribute won't let you go past a certain point, you will reach
the end of the field, but you won't jump out of it.
Thanks.

Ok, but how can I write something in the text field if when I type letters
the cursor moves out of the text field?
