Html.TextAreaFor in asp.net mvc 2 rendering wrong!

Question

I am developing an asp.net mvc 2 application and am using a Html.TextAreaFor to display a textarea where the user can enter a text which is then stored and sent if needed.

The view which displays this functionality is strongly typed (typeof(Message)). The message has a sender, reciver, subject and message body. The code in the view looks like this <% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%> <%: Html.ValidationSummary(true) %> <fieldset style="height:100%"> <legend>E-mail</legend> <div class="editor-label"> <%: Html.LabelFor(model => model.To) %> </div> <div class="editor-field"> <%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.To) %> <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.To) %> </div> <div class="editor-label"> <%: Html.LabelFor(model => model.From) %> </div> <div class="editor-field"> <%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.From) %> <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.From) %> </div> <div class="editor-label"> <%: Html.LabelFor(model => model.Subject) %> </div> <div class="editor-field"> <%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Subject) %> <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Subject) %> </div> <div class="editor-label"> <%: Html.LabelFor(model => model.Message) %> </div> <div class="editor-field"> <%: Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Message) %> <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Message) %> </div> <p> <input type="submit" value="SaveMail" /> </p> </fieldset> <% } %>

when i open this page in the browser then the submit button is placed over the textarea and i cant get it to render right...anybody help?

It looks like this is some CSS problem. Have you tried removing the styles to see if it renders correctly?

I am pretty new to web programming so I have some trouble with css but after my brother told me to put a <br /> underneath the tetxarea it renders fine now... I'll stick with that for a while because i want to have all ready in time and later i will try to get the css work... thanks for the fast reply

Just found out that if i write it like this it works fine without <br /> ` <div class="multi-line"> <%: Html.EditorFor(model => model.Message) %> <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Message) %> </div> ` keypart is class=multi-line
