Re: firefox and smaller font size in textarea

If you delete font-size: 1.0em;

from

input, textarea, select{
background-color:#DBA998;
margin: 2px 1px;
padding: 1px;
font-size: 1.0em;
color:#672434;
line-height: 1.125em;
border: 1px solid #672434;
width: 150px;
}

I think that all will show as you intend it.

Re: firefox and smaller font size in textarea

I think you will also find that it is because you haven’t been specific with you CSS selectors relating to the textareas. For the comment form you use:-

#txpCommentInputForm input, textarea

and then for the contact form you use:-

input, textarea, select

Be more specific using something like:-

#txpCommentInputForm textarea and .zemContactForm input, .zemContactForm textarea, .zemContactForm select

Re: firefox and smaller font size in textarea

Textareas also require font been set them differently, as the <code> and <pre> also require. And, so we get:

textarea {
	font: 1em Tahoma,  Verdana, "Lucida Grande";
}

No, actually the text is same sized, as in input-fields, but the font is different – browser’s default in other words.

Cheers!
