sorry textfields one more time!!

Hi,

Ive posted recently and been told about posting without searching the FAQ’s but i have searched for this and cant find an answer. Ive sorted out how to style the textfields through the:

<code><txp:comments_form isize=“50” /></code>

Now this has styled the actual text fields as in the name, email etc.

Now i want to style the actual field where the message goes.

ive tried this:

<code><txp:comments_form isize=“50” msgrows=“20” mscols=“50” /></code>

and

<code><txp:comments_form isize=“50” mscols=“50” /></code>

Now this seems to make the space longer but i want to make it Wider.

any ideas?

Thanks

Hi eldude!

hey, you make me feel bad now! I was the one that told you to search first!
But you are right, in this case, there is few info out there about what are you asking for…

Concerning your question, did you try higher values for msgrows (message rows)?

Hi Man!,

Dont feel bad i just wanted to make sure i wasnt making a nuisance of myself on this forum!

Yes i have tried higher values for Msgrows but it always stays the same size as it is in its default:

<code><txp:comments_form isize=“50” msgrows=“100” mscols=“50” /></code>

It take it msgrows is supposed to control this then?

Hi,

Maybe you’ve got this already covered but aren’t you overriding your comments_form settings in your CSS? I’ve tested your msgrows setting and it works ok.

Doublecheck your code. It’s msgrows and msgcols. Rows are for height and cols are for width.
