[CSS] Full Width Textareas

textarea {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100%;
}
Setting the box-sizing to border-box allows the textarea to respect its parent container's padding and border, recalculating what 100% actually means. If the box-sizing were content-box, the textarea would continue to stretch outside the parent container as it would have before.
