Re^2: How can one enlarge the "Your question box"? (>CSS)

Please explain why sizing should be done only by CSS. Sizing the text box the old-fashioned way in no way interferes with customizing the size with CSS and so presents no problem, no? I doesn't seem to cause any complications with my resizing attempts, anyway.

tye is absolutely correct. The lines and columns specified in the HTML will be handily overridden by the CSS by definition. There's no reason to omit one to benefit the other. I know of no browser that supports CSS which would fail to apply CSS to a previously sized element. If one exists, it is broken per the W3C. Not only every HTML size definition, but every CSS rule can in fact be overridden by another CSS rule that is defined later. The HTML can state one size, then the CSS in the header another, then the author's CSS in a separate file, then the User Agent default CSS set by the user, then any page-specific or site-specific CSS set in the browser by the user.
