Help with multiple textareas

Hi all, I am having a bit of an issue that I can't really figure out.

I have 2 textareas on one page. The first shows up correctly (Although changing cols/rows doesn't increase/decrease size like I expected), but the 2nd textarea has no place to actually enter text, just the ckedit bar ... here is my code:

Brief Description:<br />
<textarea cols="40" rows="10" name="description">Brief Description here...</textarea>
<script>
    CKEDITOR.replace( 'description' );
</script>
<br />
<br />
First page:<br />
<textarea cols="50" rows="10" name="body"></textarea>
<script>
    CKEDITOR.replace( 'body' );
</script>
<br />

Anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening?

Thanks!

I managed to find out a way

I managed to find out a way to change the size of the text areas with css, namely adding:

.cke_contents{
height: 100px !important;
width: 400px !important;
}

to my stylesheet.

Unfortunately, this leads me to another problem. I need to have multiple sized text areas on my site, I can't have them all be 100x400px, or it will look silly. I am asking users to enter an entire page of content into one box, and only a brief description of that content into a second box. They should not be the same size.

Desperately awaiting some help here!

Thanks again.
