    I need some help on making the text area for a specific box wider as well. I tried what was suggested above..(deleting the max width from the CSS) but I still can't change it using the columns option. Doesn't matter what I put in...smaller...bigger...it doesn't change.

    I'm working in form https://form.jotform.com/60736154010949 and trying to make the Special Instructions box at the bottom widen to line up with the right side of the third column of text boxes above.

    Simply inject the following custom CSS codes to your form to align the text area to the top textbox:

    textarea#input_56 {

    width: 86%;

    }

    Here's our guide on how you can inject the custom CSS codes: http://www.jotform.com/help/117-How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes. You have to add it to the bottom of the existing codes in the CSS area.

    Ok..that seemed to fix it...but only in the preview screen. Still little in the form builder so I didn't think it worked the first time.

    It seems like your form theme has been changed again. I've fixed it for you by changing the codes to the following:

    textarea#input_56 {

    width: 547px;

    }
