Hello

I'm a newbie for CI for 2 days. CI is great!

but I need help.............

How can I define rows/cols for form_textarea() by do not modify this line

Code:
$defaults = array('name' => (( ! is_array($data)) ? $data : ''), 'cols' => '90', 'rows' => '12');

in this function

Code:
function form_textarea($data = '', $value = '', $extra = '')

{

    $defaults = array('name' => (( ! is_array($data)) ? $data : ''), 'cols' => '90', 'rows' => '12');

    $val = (( ! is_array($data) OR ! isset($data['value'])) ? $value : $data['value']);

    unset ($data['value']); // textareas don't use the value attribute

    return "&lt;textarea ".parse_form_attributes($data, $defaults).$extra."&gt;".$val."&lt;/textarea&gt;\n";

}

again, I'm a newbie.
Thank you.

try:

Code:
$textarea = array(    "name"    =>    "sometextarea",

            "rows"    =>    "10",

            "cols"    =>    "20"

         );

echo form_textarea($textarea)

But this is all documented in the user guide.
Look @ the form helper.
