How to change font size in a textbox in html

For a <input type='text'> element:

input { font-size: 18px; }

or for a <textarea>:

textarea { font-size: 18px; }

or for a <select>:

select { font-size: 18px; }

you get the drift.


To actually do it in HTML with inline CSS (not with an external CSS style sheet)

<input type="text" style="font-size: 44pt">

A lot of people would consider putting the style right into the html like this to be poor form. However, I frequently make extreeemly simple web pages for my own use that don't even have a <html> or <body> tag, and such is appropriate there.


Here are some ways to edit the text and the size of the box:

rows="insertNumber"
cols="insertNumber"
style="font-size:12pt"

Example:

<textarea rows="5" cols="30" style="font-size: 12pt" id="myText">Enter 
Text Here</textarea>
