Thanks for the advice, I should have figured it was that easy. Although,
you both didn't wrap this in a $() before using jQuery methods on it.
:)
I'll use it this week.

$([EMAIL PROTECTED]).each(function(i){
this.append(textarea name=' + this.attr(name) + ' + this.val()
+ /textarea).remove()
})
is a bit shorter... and throwing the remove at the end of the chain
will save you a small fraction of a millisecond!
I just took Glen's code and shortened it. I've used the append and
remove before.

I havent tested, but this is in the ballpark I think:
$([EMAIL PROTECTED]).each(function(i){
currentName = this.attr(name);
currentValue = this.val();
this.append(textarea name=' + currentName + ' + cuurentValue +
/textarea;
this.remove
();
});
So this would destroy the input and replace with textarea.
There might be a better way, but I think this should work.

change the shape of the field to make it bigger and allow multiline
input.
