Set cols attribute for Teztarea in ZendForm

Question

Hello, This is my code to display a textarea in zendform. I show fine textarea with desired rows but if i set attribute for cols it does not add columns in it. Code is this:

$element = $this->CreateElement('textarea', 'description');
$element->setAttrib('rows', '4');
$element->setAttrib('cols', '8');
$element->setLabel('Comment');

Answer 1

Two things:

1. The code for setting the "cols" is commented out (// in front of the line)

2. are you sure that you do not set the width of the textarea in a stylesheet? Because the width overwrites the cols set in your markup.
