Hello,
I am defining a Text Area where I set it to 20 Rows and Width of 40em
in my CSS code.
Do I need to define the cols?
In this case what is the difference between cols and width?
I suppose I cannot define the cols in CSS.
Thanks,
Miguel

No, but you can-- then people who aren't using CSS will get what you set
for cols instead of the 40em.

Cols is supposed to give you the width of an "average" character. Width
sets a width in one of the usual CSS units (which don't include "width
of average character").
If you set both, the CSS width wins in most browsers.

Correct.

Yes, I knew that but somehow without cols I got my HTML validated ...
even If I had the opposite before

Correct.
If the TextArea has, let's say 100 columns, and is inside a DIV of
50px width will the Text Area expand the width?

I stand corrected.

No, it will just overflow the div (unless you set display: table-cell on
the div).
If you set width: 50px on a normal block, you get 50px regardless of the
contents or of whether that's enough.

The W3C validator gives an error when cols is omitted. e.g.
Error: required attribute "COLS" not specified .
<textarea name="x" rows="20"></textarea>

You are right ...
Hmmm, it got validated because my MVC framework or TinyMCE, which I am
using, adds cols and rows with default values 20 and 2.
