As far as I know  you can t   Besides  that isnt what CSS is for anyway  CSS is for styling and HTML is for markup

lt textarea rows  quot 4 quot  cols  quot 50 quot  gt  lt  textarea gt   It is equivalent to  textarea       height  4em      width  50em     where 1em is equivalent to the current font size  thus make the text area 50 chars wide  see here

I don t think you can   I always go with height and width   textarea  width 400px  height 100px      the nice thing about doing it the CSS way is that you can completely style it up   Now you can add things like   textarea  width 400px  height 100px  border 1px solid  000000  background-color  CCCCCC
