This has got to be one of the coolest things I have found in a while. Thank you, any chance there is a way to do this in IE7 as well?

Note that you'll still want to use width:100% in conjunction with the border-box.

Doesn't old versions of Internet Explorer use border-box behavior only?

This is fantastic... even after all these years, still learn something new every day. @koolaang this is basically saying the object's size shouldn't factor in padding, so in theory you can apply this style right to the textarea itself.
