Well it seems that i have a textbox and a textarea under it. Both sizes are 20 but they don't seem identical.

Is there a way to make them identical vertically?

Thanks

Setting the size attribute of the textbox changes its width, and changing the cols attribute of the textbox changes the number of characters that can fit horizontally, or its width. I'm not sure if a textarea has a size attribute. :D

Try it with some <style> block:
