    Is there any way of making the textarea bigger, I’m putting quite a bit of text in it and the size is annoying me.

    Any ideas?

    cheers

      Two solutions :
      1) use a RichText widget for my TV, and just tweak the height from the properties
      2) use CSS to assign a different height to the textarea

      2nd one is the preferred method smiley

      Edit : I just realized that you might be speaking of the manager’s textareas and not the frontend...
      Well, that’s a different story you’ll have to hack into the manager theme then, and maybe into the js I never toyed with that can’t give you a pointer without digging into it...

      Other (simpler solution) is to install the Resizeable form fields FF extension (or buy a Mac : Safari has this built in, but that’s not cheap grin )
