How do I edit the textarea width of the contact form

I need to reduce the width of the textarea in the contact form. I used the CSS to do it but then it now affects all other text areas. I looked through the files of the module but none showed a value for the textarea.

How is this edited?

The textarea function parameters:
XoopsFormTextArea(caption, name, value, rows, cols, id)

To change the contact form comment area , edit line #37 of modules/contact/contactform.php

from
$comment_textarea = new XoopsFormTextArea(_CT_COMMENTS, "usersComments", $comment_v);

to

$comment_textarea = new XoopsFormTextArea(_CT_COMMENTS, "usersComments", "", 6, 40, $comment_v);

This text area will have 6 rows and 40 columns.
Adjust the row and cols values to suit your needs.

Thanks. It worked fine. I had tried that before based on the methods in the lines above 37 but got errors and could not figure that adding that empty DB column would fix it.
