configure textarea width

I am sure this is in the manual somewhere but for the life of me I can't find it. I want to change the textarea width-- that is, the white region you enter text into. I do not want to change the width of the entire editor-- the width of grey region(toolbars, etc) should remain constant. I think this is a col=XX for some textarea. Please help. Thank you.

Re: configure textarea width

What about setting the size on the css - here is what I have done on the resize event:

            //Add resize functionality
            $(window).resize(function() {
                //Get height
                var height = $(window).height();
                //Get width
                var width = $(window).width();

                //If no change then don't update...
                if (oldHeight != height || oldWidth != width) {
                    //Set width of the reviewTitle
                    $('#reviewTitle').css('width', width);

                    //Set width of topSpace (the editor-toolbar)
                    $('#topSpace').css('width', width);

                    //Set width and height og the reviewData
                    $('#reviewData').css({
                            width: width,
                            height: height - <%= offsetY * 3 + titleHeight + toolbarHeight %>
                    });

                    //Update buffered values
                    oldHeight = height;
                    oldWidth = width;
                }
            });

I have a 'reviewTitle' which contains the title of the document, 'topSpace' which has the toolbar and 'reviewData' which contains the main document.
I just set the size on the css with the desired size on the resize event...
Maybe you can use this...?
