Hi Christian, Sean, i understand that you used a height that fits the vertical rhytm of 18px. What i don't understand is that you used some height definition anyway. I just tested this through in my test-installation and found out that it is not necessary (in FF 3.x, IE8 & IE7 compl. Mode). If you don't assign any height, or html-cols/rows attributes/definitions, you will get 1.5x height of an input(text)-element in IE7/8 and 3x the height in FF 3.x, which fits exactly (incl. margin) in the vertical rhythm. My question before my test was why there is a height definition on a textarea element. And now after the test, i'm still curious if a) there are problems without any height in any other browsers or b) the next version of bp can be without it.
