line height and font size

Hi,

What sets the height of the textbox, line height or font size?

From stackoverflow

  • None

    its

    height

    attribute

    <input type="text" class="hei" id="txt1" />
<style>
.hei
{
   height: 40px;
}
</style>

    font-size: Sets or retrieves a value that indicates the font size used for text in the object.

    line-height: Sets or retrieves the distance between lines in the object

  • input {
    height: 100px;
}

  • the css option height?

  • If it's <input type="text" /> then it's a combination of font-size, line-height and any explicitly declared height attributes.

    For <textarea> it's an explicit height declaration, though I think it's expressed as rows rather than height.
