Modifying rows and cols in comments textarea
I tried the search (and Google) but didn’t find the answer.
I have a comments section and I want to change the rows and cols settings for the text area.
I see that txp:comment_message doesn’t take any parameters. I want to change to 7 rows and 48 columns which shouldn’t be a big deal..
I normally wouldn’t mind changing the code, but I’m constantly downloading the latest development version, so if there’s a better way, I’m all ears.
Thanks,
Shige

Just use CSS:
#txpCommentInputForm textarea {
width: xpx;
height: xpx;

In my site (txp version 0.4.5) it works fine the “width” parameter, but not the “hight”. I have used “width:100%”.
Thanks.

Thanks. Does the fact that textpattern hard codes a value for rows and columns interfere with the pixels set for width and height in the CSS?

No, it doesn’t affect it.
pompilos, the correct attribute is height, not hight. Was that just a typo here or in your CSS? Ensure you have a semicolon after width:100% too.

Oh wow.. thanks! This worked perfectly. I was worried that the rows/cols settings wouldn’t play nice with the height/width settings, but I guess CSS overrides it.
This would be nice for the docs or on TextBook.

Also, you can use some attributes on txp:comments_form.
<txp:comments_form isize="30" msgrows="7" msgcols="55" />
That way, the textarea has some size not only when CSS is on, but also when CSS is disabled.

Thanks. I didn’t see that there. Somehow it doesn’t make as much sense to have those parameters in the txp:comments_form, but I’m glad its possible to chage the size of the textarea somehow.
