HTML TextArea doesn’t get bigger when I increase the columns

My text area is not expanding horizontally when I increase the number of columns. It is stuck at around 5 columns or so. No matter how big I increase it, it stays the same size. The rows change with no problem.

This happens no matter where I put a text area on my WordPress website. Leads me to believe it’s a styling issue, but I don’t know what’s causing it.

<textarea name="message" rows="3" cols="40"></textarea>

  1. Another way is using CSS. L

    <textarea style="width: 300px; height: 150px;" name="message" rows="3" cols="40"></textarea>
    

    You can change width, height as you wish.
