How to increase size of box for information in a form


OriginalSunny

Recommended Posts

Hi,
Just creating a few forms for users to be able to fill out on my webpage. I am using the code below to create boxes users can fill out:

[i]<tr><td align="right"><b>Message</b>
<td><input type="text" name="message"
value="<?php echo @$message ?>"
size="50" maxlength="50"></tr>[/i]

Its in my .inc file which is then posted to the .php file. The thing i want to know is how you make the box bigger in terms of depth (currently they are like the topic title box when you fill out a new topic on this website. I want them to be larger so they are more like the actually message box when you fill out a new topic on this website).
Thanks.

It's an html question. Use textarea, not text, as the input type. Adjust the number of rows and number of columns (horizontal size) to suit. For example:
[code]
<textarea name="something" rows="3" cols="30"><?php echo $something; ?></textarea>
[/code]
