keep dimensions of textarea constant

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 02.2004

i have a textarea, and a select box. The options in the select box are the style of font to be appear in the textarea, which is changed using javascript.

The textarea has 25 rows and 50 cols. The problem is that the textarea changes its size depending on the font chosen.

I don’t know if the rows and cols are measurements regarding the font inside the textarea, but i was wondering if anyone knew how to keep the dimensions of the textarea constant?

Thanks.

You could remove the cols and rows from the tag and put style stuff inside (width & height).

@moondanceauthorJun 02.2004 — so instead of:

<textarea rows = "25" cols = "50"></textarea>

have:

<textarea style = "width: 400px; height: 250px;"></textarea>

?

Yes! Or using a style tag or external css, using a class, id or tag in the css to define the attributes of the textarea.
