Text box scrollbars in Firefox

Hi..

When I make a simple textbox in a form, the text wraps within the box area,
and a vertical scrollbar automatically operates when the text (which wraps)
fills more than the box. It works fine in Opera, IE etc, but in Firefox 1.5,
the text doesn't wrap, and a horizontal scrollbar appears.

The FrontPage html is as follows:
<textarea rows="7" name="Comments" cols="24" style="font-family: Verdana;
border: 1px solid #5C79AF; color:#999999; font-size:10pt"></textarea>

Any thoughts on how to make it work correctly in Firefox?

Thanks and Happy New Year!
 
I use
<textarea name="Comments" rows="10" cols="45"></textarea>
with styling (similar to yours) placed in an external style sheet.

Your code segment works perfectly in FireFox 1.07 in a test page on
my LAN.
