help with textarea line-height and resizing textarea

[wahooka]

hi-

does the textarea field accept a line-height style? i'm trying to get the text i enter in the textarea to match how my actual output will be (i'm using a line-height: 150%; ) but when i add this style to the textarea it doesn't seem to work for me.

<textarea name="details" id="details" rows="7" cols="100" style="line-height:150%">
<?php echo $details; ?>
</textarea>

is that correct or am i missing something?

also is there anyway to have my textarea autogrow when the text entered causes it to scroll down? i would like the textarea to be intially somewhat small and grow (if needed) to show all the text at once. i think this can be done in javascript but would appreciate any links if someone knows a good script to do this.

thanks for any help!
