textarea inheriting font-size

Recommended Posts

I cannot figure out how to get a textarea to have the same font-size as the rest of a document,

I have tried a lot of different things with style= following 

https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_font-size.asp

But can't figure it out.  Even tried without style:

<textarea readonly="readonly" onclick="this.select()"
>
sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200<br>
</textarea>

that text is smaller than the rest of the document.  So please point me to the magic on setting the font-size right for a textarea.

Font-size: inherit, only works if you've defined a font size earlier in the document. Because you don't, it doesn't do any different from the default, which is 13.3333px (on Chrome)

You'll need to set the font-size on your <body> tag for inherit to work. Set it to 16 to start with.
