text size help again...

well now I need to now if you can change the size of text in a text area. If so how?

<textarea lines="8" columns="20" style="font-size: 18pt;"></textarea>


Of course that style should properly go into a style sheet instead of inline as shown. Some people would use a <font> tag to control size but that a deprecated tag and no one should be using it for any new development these days, especially when CSS styles are more versatile and cleaner anyway.

Thanks alot!
