Hi David,
Yes, it is possible to style a <textarea> using CSS.
Just add a width, if you want the textarea to fit the width of its contatiner
use width: 100%; (I'd recommend defining a height too).
Try this code:
.mailform {
margin: 0 10px;
border: 1px solid black;
width: 100%;
height: 400px;
}
Let me know if it worked.
