 * If you go to one of my posts like [http://r0x0rz.info/open_source/fix_for_firefox_freezing.php](http://r0x0rz.info/open_source/fix_for_firefox_freezing.php),
   The comment textbox wont switch no matter what code I add. I tried expanding 
   the cols, the rows, adding size=””, etc..What do I modify or add? Thanks.

 * I’m not sure if you mean the textarea boxes, but if you are….input, textarea 
   is set to width of 153px. The box will expand when needed (if someone makes a
   really long comment), or you can adjust the width in the above example.

 * Don’t know what you mean by “switch”, but you have an explicit width on all those
   inputs via this CSS selector:
 * `input, textarea {
    margin: 0; background: #4A525A; border: 1px solid #999; border-
   top: 0; width: 153px; <------------------------------------ padding: 3px 0 2px
   5px; color: #fff; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; }

 * Look for this in the css file:
 * input, textarea {
     margin: 0;  background: #4A525A;  border: 1px solid #999;
   border-top: 0;  width: 153px;  padding: 3px 0 2px 5px;  color: #fff;  font-family:
   Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;  font-size: 11px; }
 * Change `width: 153px;` to whatever width you want.
