can't change the height of a text field in simple_form

Question

I\'ve tried

  #Default size for text inputs.  
  config.default_input_size = 10

from config/initializers/simple_form.rb

I\'ve also tri

Answer 1

I managed to do this by adding :as => :text to the input field attributes and then adding style & rows to the input html:

<%= f.input :message, label: "Message: ", :as => :text, input_html: { :style=> 'width: 100%;', :rows => 4} %>

For me it was the :as => :text that got the "rows" attribute to work, and the 100% width made it fluid rather than fixed-width.
