When validating a page containing a form for XHTML 1.0 Transitional, I get the following message regarding a textarea:

required attribute "cols" not specified

Why can't we specify a percentage width for the textarea in the CSS instead? It works, but it doesn't validate without the cols attribute being defined, and if I'm going to define "cols" then there's no purpose for the width in the CSS, is there? Does this have to do with being able to enter text beyond that CSS-defined width?

Thanks for your enlightenment...
