Rails - Sep 2006 - Text_area WAS: Re: Re: OT: TinyMCE in Rails

My latest discovery on this issue is that it''s particular to one of my
apps.  I tried text_area in another app (running the same version of
rails) and it worked fine , "rows" => 100, "cols" =>
200.

How bizarre that this one app would break something in the form
helper.  Any ideas out there on where even to look ?

TIA
Stuart

Wow, accidentally discovered my text_area problems.  In my CSS I had:

textarea {
	width: 300px;
	height: 100px;
}

Which was overiding any settings used in the form helper.

My bad
