Defining width and height of text boxes with CSS

[Anna]

Hi all.
I have a text box:
<input type="text" size="36"/>
and a textarea:
<textarea rows="3" cols="26"></texarea>
and I use these in several pages.

Is there a way to define the sizing of the text box and textarea in css,
so that if I will need to change them, I will be able to change it just
in the stylesheet, instead of changing every single occurence of these in html?

Thank you very much for help.

Yes. You'll have to apply display:block; to these elements if I remember
correctly.

Thank you very much for help.

In html 4.01 strict, you must define rows and columns attributes for
the textarea element, so you cannot *replace* them using css.
However, you can set sizes in css using width and height attributes.
Be careful not to force horizontal scrolling when doing so.
