 * In my contact form, the message area width overflows across the width of the 
   box.
    All other fields are ok. I have found the ‘colums & rows’ fields and have
   changed the colums field to match the correct width i require, but this is in
   HTML and I cannot save it. I have also tried in CSS without success. How can 
   I adjust this width in CSS or by any other means?
