Well...
Does this sentence mean that the height of textarea may depends on browser's
default size?
The textarea element's height may be expected the size what the rows attribute
is set 2, as below.

>4 The elements of HTML
>4.10 Forms
>4.10.13 The textarea element
>The rows attribute specifies the number of lines to show. If the rows
attribute is specified, its value must be a valid non-negative integer greater
than zero. If applying the rules for parsing non-negative integers to the
attribute's value results in a number greater than zero, then the element's
character height is that value; otherwise, it is 2.

Sorry for my dirty English. Thanks.
