[Mediawiki-l] Few questions

[Christensen, Courtney]

Hi Usamah,

If you use your own modification of this:
#editform textarea {
  border: inset 1px gray;
  background-color: #fdfdfd;
  padding: 2px;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  font-size: 110%;
  line-height: 1.5em;
}
In your monobook.css then you can change the text in the editform to
whatever you want.  It doesn't cause any problems that I've found and my
users say it is much easier to read.  Good luck on the why and your
other question.

1)  Why MediaWiki uses mono fonts on all the <textarea> elements
related to editing? And would changing that to other font(s) cause
problems? I couldn't find where to edit this in the Monobook CSS. I
now it can be simply set in the textarea's style rule, but why it
doesn't inherit the font of the body, which is sans-serif?
