Font face in a form

[Huitzilopochtli]

Hello

I have a form and I know how to use the font attribute so that the user types in verdana, Times, etc, as in:

<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;submit.asp&quot;>

<p><font face=&quot;verdana&quot; color=&quot;white&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;><b>Topic: </b></font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;topic&quot; size=&quot;20&quot;></p>

but how do I control the font in the textarea? What I have is the following, but it ignores 'font' and writes in Times. I would like it to be consistent with the other fields I have (that is, verdana)?

<font face=&quot;verdana&quot; color=&quot;white&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;><b>Message: </b></font><br>
<textarea name=&quot;body&quot; rows=&quot;9&quot; cols=&quot;40&quot;></textarea><br>
<p align=center><input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
<input type=&quot;reset&quot; value=&quot;Reset&quot;></p>
</form>

Many thanks for any suggestions

Define a CSS style with font settings:
<style>
.one { font: 8pt verdana,arial,sans-serif }
</style>

and apply it to all form elements that you like:

<textarea class=one>

This method is very flexible so you can modify all fields at once. If you apply the style to all input fields it will make all of them look the same. You can also add other properties like &quot;width: 120px&quot; to that style so you'll control the width of the form elements.

Or you could just do this and change all the textareas:
<style>
textarea {font-family: verdana}
</style>
