Answer 2

A:

As far as i know you cant.

Besides, that isnt what css is for anyway. Css for styling and HTML for markup.

EDIT: Cool, i stand corrected.

CSS is for styling the visual representation of an element. This includes the width and height of a textarea.

Jonathan Sampson 2010-01-09 19:07:00

Yeah, exactly.I didn't know cols and rows, and width and height were the same.

Moulde 2010-01-09 19:12:26

Moulde, you're correct in that they're not *exactly* the same. But they both achieve the same purpose :)

Answer 3

A:

I don't think you can. I always go with height and width.

textarea{
width:400px;
height:100px;
}

the nice thing about doing it the CSS way is that you can completely style it up. Now you can add things like:

textarea{
width:400px;
height:100px;
border:1px solid #000000;
background-color:#CCCCCC;
}
