Using newforms, yes:
Pass in an 'attrs' argument to the Textarea widget. e.g.,
class MyForm(forms.Form):
text = fields.TextField(widget=widgets.Textarea(attrs={'cols':'70',
'rows':'20'}))
This defines a text field that will use a Textarea widget to render;
by default, Textarea uses 1 40x10 area, but this can be overridden.
if you want to get really fancy, you can define your own subclass of
Textarea that hard codes your preferred sizes, and then request that
the TextField you the new widget :
class MyTextarea(widgets.Textarea):
def __init__(self, attrs={}):
attrs.update({'cols':'70', 'rows':'20'})
super(MyTextarea, self).__init__(attrs)
class MyForm(forms.Form):
text = fields.TextField(widget=widgets.MyTextarea)
(Note - I haven't run this code so it might have a syntax error or
two, but it should be enough to give you an idea and get you on the
way).
