I have one question about html textarea code.

I know the textarea code can be this :

<textarea rows="2" cols="20">
</textarea>

but i was wondering

whats the code. to make a textarea be a certain color and a certain size. I want a textarea that has a scroolbar.and with a certain backgorund color and certain size.

all i found in google is a way to make the textarea a certain background color OR make it a certain size. but i want both in one..
IS there a way!!?

This makes it with a background color
<textarea style="color: red; background-color: lightyellow">
</textarea>

HOW DO I ADD THE SIZE CODE ONTO THIS CODE ABOVE

Hi, i agree with the others answers. you use a different way to apply the style 2:

add the style to the header of your html document:

<head>

<style type="text/css">

</style>

</head>

then attach the style to your text area

<textarea name="textfield" cols="25" rows="5" class="txtarea-style"></textarea>

add the style attribute to the tag along with the rows and cols attributes. see this

<textarea rows="2" cols="20" style="color: red; background-color: lightyellow">
</textarea>
