Increase textbox height in Spring Form

Question

I have a spring-mvc form with a text box: I want to increase the height of the text box. I have tried adding the "height" and "line-height" properties in css but my textbox height doesn't change at all.
Form:

<div class="plLabelSearch">Code:</div> 
<div class="plinput"><form:input path="codeKey" type="text" size="29"/></div>

css properties:

.plLabelSearch{display:inline-block;width:190px;text-align:right;margin-bottom:10px;}
.plinput{display:inline-block;width:150px;}

Answer 1

You are not targeting the <input> correctly, see fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/c259LrpL/15/

.plinput > input{height: 50px;}
