I'm attempting to make a body field for a user to write into and post with. Naturally I picked a textarea input type, but the textarea is coming out incorrect. I set it for 10 rows and 30 columns (still haven't decided on final setup, but that's moot for the purpose of this issue), but the page loads up a textarea field with 1 row and less than 30 columns.

code:
<table cellspacing=2 cellpadding=2>
<tr>
<td valign=top>
Name:<p>
Subject:<p>
Body:
</td>
<td>
<form action='postboard.php'>
<input type=text name='name' size=30><p>
<input type=text name='subject' size=30><p>
<input type=textarea name='body' rows=10 cols=30></textarea><p>
<input type=submit name='post' value='Submit'>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Oh damn! I can't believe I missed something so obvious. Don't tell norm about this.. he'd kill me.

Thanks to both of you.

Naaa......If I went ahead and killed you I would have to finish your task myself. Nope, you're not getting off that easy!
