Change Textarea rows and columns attributes

Hi Joseph can you share your current settings under the field if any for textarea or under Style settings.

Thank you

The only changes I made to the CSS are:

Form Div: class=”cp”
Required field indicator: class=”req-indicator”
Required field text: class=”req-text”

I did not make any changes to the textarea in the Fields tab. I tried adding rows=5, then tried adding rows=”5″ in the Attributes field, but that did not work.

The contact form in question is seen here:

Hi Joseph have a read through the following URL. Focus on point number 4.

Kind regards

Ok, that’s fine. But what if I want to change the rows and cols attributes for the textarea. There is no option within my FSCF settings to do so. All I want to do is change the default attributes for the textarea (i.e. rows=”10″ and cols=”30″).

The second screenshot on point number 4 in the URL you directed me to shows that you can change those settings, but that screenshot doesn’t match what I see in my dashboard.

Hi Joseph the second screen shot is further down from the Styles tab. What contact form version do you have installed?

I understand. When I look at the screenshot, I see that between the “Powered by” message settings, and the “Enable aria-required tags…” settings, there are options for changing the Input Text field size, and Input Textarea field cols and rows. However, those options aren’t visible anywhere within the Styles tab. The Input Text field size and Input Textarea field cols and rows settings are missing.

I’m using version 4.0.21.

Hi Joseph, I see what you mean. That option should be applied within the Field settings. When you add or edit a field in this case a “Textarea” field it will provide that option to edit.

Ok, so I went into the Fields tab, and added a value of cols=”5″ into the Attributes field of my textarea. This is something I’ve already done previously, and it didn’t work then, nor does it work now.

The resulting HTML comes out as
<textarea style="text-align:left; margin:0; width:99%;" id="fscf_field1_3" name="message" cols="30" rows="10" cols="5"></textarea>

Hi Joseph, you should enter the code in the following area.

Label CSS/Input CSS :
Use to style individual form fields with CSS. CSS class names or inline style code are both acceptable. Note: If you do not need to style fields individually, you should use the CSS settings on the Styles tab instead.

In regards to Attributes, see below to understand how to use this option.

Attributes:
Use to insert input field attributes. Example: To make a text field readonly, set to: readonly=”readonly” Can be used for any extra field type.

Kind regards

Hi can you give me an example of the type of form that you are trying to set up?

Thank you

Thank you

The form I am trying to create is in the link on my second post in this thread. Here is the link again: https://www.josephruscitti.com/clients/onestrike/contact/ It is a simple contact form.

I don’t need help adding fields, I don’t need help with CSS. I am just trying to figure out if there is a way to change the rows and cols attributes of the textarea. As I see it, there is no way at all. If there is not a way, then that is fine but I need to know that there is not a way.

Again, I have already tried to modify the Attributes section in the Fields tab, but that did not work at all.

Hi Joseph, sorry if I misunderstood your request above. As far as I know the only settings you can change in the textarea is the width and height and the maximum number of characters allowed in the field.

Unless someone else has come up with some custom code.

Kind regards
