How to specify rows and columns of a <textarea > tag using wtforms

Question

Constructing a wtforms\' TextAreaField is something like this:

content = wtf.TextAreaField(\'Content\', id=\"content-area\", validators=[validators.Required()])
         


        

Answer 1

There is a tutorial on Flask by nettuts+. Basically, it works like this:

from flask.ext import wtf

class ContactForm(wtf.Form):
    content = wtf.TextAreaField("Content", [validators.Required()])

and in your html:

    {{ form.content }}

Instead of specifying the layout in html, you can specify it in your css, for example:

form textarea#content {
     width: 100px;
     height: 100px;
     max-width: 100px;
}
