Font size in TEXTAREA

[Seamus Conlon]

Is there any way of controlling the font size within a TEXTAREA? I have
tried a
<FONT size= "1"> statement immediately before the <TEXTAREA> but it does
not seem to have any effect. My page also uses CSS to define a style for
the BODY
element but I presume that would not affect the TEXTAREA! I have also tried
to
add a style for the TEXTAREA element but again to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

CSS is the answer. Define a style for the TEXTAREA element. If you
already did so and it appeared not working, then you probably did
something wrong. In that case, here is an example:

textarea { font-size: 120%; }

Controlling? Nope. But you can make style suggestions with CSS. See e.g.

You can also change the font:

textarea { font-family: Verdana }

Or happened to be using a browser that doesn't support (all) styling
on form controls.[/QUOTE]

That is very, very rare for the font-size property.

Thanks Kris. When I inserted the correct CSS incantations it worked a
treat.
