F5 or Ctrl+R or delete cache may help sometimes... But it hards to know

[Steven Vannoy]

This is exactly what I'm trying to do, none of the suggestions below has 
changed my form view at all. Must be doing something wrong. I'm trying to 
avoid using a custom.widget so I don't have to specifically layout everyone 
of my fields, there are over 30, but I want them to be a fixed width so 
when the field is displayed, I can also have it be a fixed width and the 
person entering text will know how wide the viewable area is.

[Richard Vézina]

Don't know if there is anything include in bootstrap now for elastic
textarea (I doubt)... Regarding responsiveness, I don't think simple size
change from css override will bring any issue, except it it lead to the
overriding of the responsive behavior of course.

It we have a table with text and string...text will remain same and string 
will shrink. Unless all of them are changed equally.

Re: [web2py] Re: change the size of a text field in a form

Only one thing to be careful of. I believe...If someone use the default 
scaffolding css and create the form its responsive by default. Means, you 
open the browser and roll back and see the form shrinks with you. Which is 
pretty good in a sense that no one needs to have a tablet version or 
mobile. But with an external css/js, that feature may be lost unless its 
part of the bootstrap.

And why not :


textarea {
width: 1320px;
height: 70px;
}


You don't need js for that...

Also consider make your textarea elastic there is js plugins for that...

[web2py] Re: change the size of a text field in a form

[Pystar]

I would suggest you using custom forms in your view and targeting the 
attribute you wish to change with CSS. I find that approach more flexible.

In the view:

{{=form.custom.begin}}
###you can include normal HTML here to build up the form elements and 
target it with CSS
or
textarea id=#, class=# rows=20, cols=30/textarea
{{=form.custom.end}}

hope that helps?

You can do it via CSS:
