[drupal-support] A how-to question on text areas.

[Gordon Heydon]

Hi,

The actual function is form_textarea() which is in the includes
directory. but where the sizes are pasted is all over. just find the
form_textarea() and there are 2 parameters that specify the width and
depth.

check drupaldocs.org for more information.

Gordon.
