Malcolm,
thanks for the explanation. I agree that presentation should be kept out
of it as much as possible but it wasn't clear to me on how i could
change the code to get a textarea instead of a input field and then also
customize the textarea.
Those issues are actually solved by using the TextField instead of
CharField in my model and as Rajesh pointed out, using an inline style
like this
<style>
textarea {width: 30em; height: 7em;}
</style>
customizes the textarea. I didn't think of that solution.
Only problem i can see with this, is what if you have different
textarea's that you want to specify the dimensions of?
I actually have a form with 3 textarea's but they can be the same size
so it's not an issue right now. But i can imagine that not all
textarea's are the same size.
The style is used for all textarea's on that page.
It's still not clear to me on how one would adjust the dimension of the
individual textarea's.
I imagine you can use javascript in the onload part of the body that
adjusts the size of the elements on the fly.

Benedict
