Both versions work for me, tried just now. Can you post html generated by them?

How will you pay for your time off? <select id="first" name="first"><option value="Employee">Employee</option> <option value="Manager">Manager</option> <option value="Supervisor">Supervisor</option> <option value="Tier-1">Tier-1</option></select> <textarea cols="5" id="reason" name="reason" rows="15">nil</textarea> </form>

RoR 2010-09-03 03:56:19

The code in my view. <%= text_area_tag :reason, :nil, :size=> "5x15" %>

RoR 2010-09-03 03:57:58

So the textarea gets generated as you would expect: `cols="5"` `rows="15"` What is the problem?

In my view nothing changes, like when i refresh that page. the box stays the same. So when I try to change the :size=>"15x20" it looks the same.

RoR 2010-09-03 04:08:53

Hm, do you have a stylesheet that controls the size of the textarea? Check you stylesheet for `textarea { width: ...px; height: ...px; }`

@RoR So, it looks like issue has little to do with rails (html is generated correctly). Can you post a full html source reproducing problem?

@RoR works for me: http://jsfiddle.net/htzyy/ Maybe it's something about styles, as _captaintokyo_ suggested.

Thanks for verifying. I did go through my CSS Stylesheets and I did find a textarea. I went ahead and commented it out. But, looking back at the view, the text area does not change at all. I'm gonna try a fresh rails test_project and see from scratch if i get this problem.

Works in a new application.

RoR 2010-09-03 05:25:06

It is conflicting with something inside of Blueprint. After I commented out the 3 includes for blueprint. The Text area now can be resized.

RoR 2010-09-03 05:40:15

Thanks for all the help, issue fixed. I had to override textarea due to blueprint.
