Isn't the default 80 columns?
Leslie Riggs
What I want to understand is why is cols required by the W3C standard,
> if the width can be defined in CSS?
The way I find it easiest to explain is to think about what happens if
CSS was to be disabled in the browser, or the browser was incapable of
processing CSS (take Lynx, for example). If the cols are not defined
in the markup then what is the browser supposed to show?
Cheers
Peter
