Did you try to set it?
Like:
<textarea style="font-size:23">Hai</textarea>

23 what? Non-zero lengths require units. (And px/pt are poor choices for use
on screen).

Use percentages ( font-size: 80%; ) that way you don't break the text
size features in IE

If that doesn't work (which is likely if the browser is in standards
mode) add a unit to the size value, e.g.,
<textarea style="font-size:23px">Hai</textarea>
The unit is required by CSS.

Using "px" for fonts is rarely a good idea, though, since you have no
idea how readable a specific number of pixels is on a screen without
knowing both screen resolution and size (and it prevents some browsers
from scaling the font, so if it's unreadable, it's really
unreadable!). It's better to use, e.g., "120%" or "1.2em" to get a
font that is 20% larger than the user's default font.

Yes of course. Stupid cunfusing typo.
I didn't mention what 23. :P
I ment 23px.

But I just tested 23 without anything. To my surprise 23 worked in both
Firefox and IE. I think they default to px when the coder is too stupid to
mention what he means, like me. ;-)

Well, sorted out now. :-)
Thanks for correcting.

Not sure what's wrong with your Firefox (check the version and see if
the relevant bug was reported for this version).

Your IE was in quirk mode, this is why it did work. Simply add at the
very top of your document:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/loose.dtd">

and try again to see the difference.

True, however `em' or `%' is more difficult to implement than `px'.

/Some/ browsers? Which other browsers but IEeek(-based)?

AFAICS, what you have so far been given is not javascript.
AFAICS, what you have so far been given does not change the size, but
creates the area with a non-default size. You can use such as

F.Code.style.fontSize = "23pt"
F.Code.style.fontSize = "123%"

in javascript to change the font size of the textarea F.Code .

Huh? I thought 'px' did that by definition?

Well, I think it depends on how you define "resolution of the viewing
device" and "If the pixel density of the output device is very different
from that of a typical computer display, the user agent should rescale
pixel values." in the CSS Specifications :) The reference pixel is a
SHOULD, not a MUST.

Gecko-based, Opera-based and KHTML-based browsers allow you to zoom text if
the font size is specified in `px', and they allow for setting a minimum
font size specified in `px'. Opera (and as I have heard IE 7 Beta 2 too)
even allow you to zoom the entire client area, including images etc. I
consider that to be a Good Thing; not because I consider using `px' for
font sizes a Good Thing, though.
