><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

it would definitely be better in the css file.  i'd do something like this:

textarea {
  overflow: auto;
}

this has the advantage of applying this wrapping to all your textareas
resulting in consistency on your site.

i'd definitely leave rows and cols in there for non-css browsers.  test it
and see if you need to specify the height and width for the overflow to
work.
