To set the height of a text area in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Select the text area element: In the Webflow Designer, click on the text area element that you want to adjust the height for. This will bring up the element's settings panel on the right side of the screen.

  2. Access the sizing options: Within the element's settings panel, navigate to the "Size" tab. Here, you will find the controls to adjust the height of the text area.

  3. Adjust the height using pixels: By default, Webflow allows you to set the height of a text area in pixels. Enter the desired pixel value into the "Height" field. For example, if you want the text area to be 200 pixels tall, enter "200" into the field.

  4. Adjust the height using percentage: Alternatively, you can set the height of the text area using a percentage of its parent container's height. To do this, select the "%" option from the drop-down menu next to the "Height" field. Then, enter the desired percentage value.

  5. Preview and fine-tune: After setting the height, preview the changes in the Webflow Designer to see how the text area looks. If needed, you can further fine-tune the height value to achieve the desired look and feel.

By following these steps, you can easily set the height of a text area in Webflow. Whether you prefer to set it in pixels or as a percentage, Webflow provides these flexible options to meet your design requirements.
