adding new field to page. how to specify the width instead of cols of box

[jasonc]

I am currently using

 

form_field.cols=20;

in my code below to say how many columns, but wish to use the CSS width instead, how do I do this using javascript

 

var container=document.getElementById('namesdiv');
var form_field=document.createElement('textarea');
form_field.id='name' + lines;
form_field.name='name' + lines;
form_field.cols=20;
form_field.rows=2;
container.appendChild(form_field);
var br_field=document.createElement('br');
container.appendChild(br_field);

Replace

form_field.cols=20;

 

With this (using your preferred value)

form_field.style.width = '350px';
