Question

for some odd reason the text area I have in my site won’t accept the width I tell it to, I’ve tried to select it three times in the CSS just to make sure!

Here is a jsfiddle example that shows what I want, and here is the page where it doesn’t want to work. I have searched through the CSS to find any conflicting textarea properties, but there are none.

Thanks for the help!

Edit: If you have Firebug, don’t forget about it, and use it!

Answer 1

In one of your CSS files, you specified textarea { min-width: 40em; }.
