This is so simple, I am amazed I cannot get it working! I want these two text box types in a form to have the exact same font and size. I've tried: <textarea name="txtFullDesc" cols="30" rows="7"></textarea> <input name="txtShortDesc" type="text" id="txtShortDesc"> ... with a font tag in front of them, I have tried using css and using the same rule, but every time, the textarea box has a smaller font. I don't get it! Please help, Brett

You need to use CSS, like this: <input name="txtShortDesc" type="text" id="txtShortDesc" style="width:400px;font-size:10pt;font-family:arial;"> <textarea name="txtFullDesc" cols="3" rows="7" style="width:400px;font-size:10pt;font-family:arial;"></textarea> Use the same values for width, font-size and font-family Michael J

Thanks for the quick response, but I am still having trouble. Look here: http://eportal.ws/text.html Look at the source... they are exactly the same styles, but still look different when you type in them. Thanks, Brett

You have a typo. Remove the double quotes I have indicated below. <input name="txtShortDesc" type="text" id="txtShortDesc" style="width:400px;font-size:14px;font-family:"arial";" > <textarea name="txtFullDesc" cols="30" rows="7" style="width:400px;font-size:14px;font-family:"arial";"></textarea> Or just copy and past the code I posted previously!
