1] I am using the blue-zinfandel-3column theme. The comment box on my blog was too large. So, I edited template file comments.php and uploaded it to server. Here is how it looks now:
<textarea name=”comment” id=”comment” cols=”40″ rows=”10″ tabindex=”4″> </textarea>
When I view the source code of any post the textarea is shown as <textarea name=”comment” id=”comment” cols=”100%” rows=”10″ tabindex=”4″></textarea>
How come its showing cols=”100%” and NOT cols=”40″?
2] Next, I modified CSS properties for textarea and for all comments section. Still the same problem.
3] Next, I deleted comments.php from server and uploaded it again. The problem persists. The source code still shows
<textarea name=”comment” id=”comment” cols=”100%” rows=”10″ tabindex=”4″></textarea>
4] Now, the bad thing. I deleted comments.php from the theme folder and yet the comment section is visible on blog posts and still shows:
I have tried everthing … I am not getting frustrated … why is it still showing cols=”100%”?
Please help!
It turned out to be that the comment template of the default theme was being used while blue-zinfandel-3column was the theme in use. Fixed it at last.
I deserve a coffee break!!!
