 * Hi!
 * I’m trying to style the submit comment textarea. I want it to have the same width
   as the textboxes above.
 * In comments.php my textarea code is as follow:
 * <textarea name=”comment” id=”comment” cols=”50″ rows=”10″ tabindex=”4″ style=”
   font-size: 16px; background-color: #999966; border: solid 1px #000000;”></textarea
   >
 * If I increase the size in the cols tag nothing happens. But when I change the
   rows size the textarea gets higher.
 * How do increase the width of the textarea?
 * Here is the full code of my comments.php:

 * And here is my comment site:

 * #content textarea { width: 400px; }
 * In your css, look for that line and adjust the 400px to suit 🙂
