11,061 PointsHow do I get textarea elements on forms to stay at 100% width through all breakpoints? Bootstrap is involved..
Here is a link to a codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ZOzJay
I believe the solution lies somewhere in bootstrap's breakpoint code for the various form classes..
Problem: When the screen resizes to anything above a mobile view, the textarea reduces in size and moves to the left of the container. I'd like it to stay at 100% width through all bootstrap breakpoints. Any help would be most appreciated! Thank you in advance for any time you spend on this.. and for being brave... forms suck. :P

11,061 PointsThank you Mark for catching that syntax problem! It is corrected, however, that did not fix the original problem : /
The textarea field still doesnt occupy the whole width when resizing

Courses Plus Student 18,131 PointsHey Kevin, the syntax in these divs: <div class="form-group .col-sm-6">
should be instead:
<div class="form-group col-sm-6">
Then to answer your main question also look here for the same issue: <div class="form-group .col-sm-12">
I'll see what I can find out about the textarea element.
