Massimo that looks good, however in SQLFORM I can change the textwidget in 
a very specific way - I can change it for a single field on a single table 
on a single controller, changing widgets in jform like this wouldn't work 
because you would change the text widget for all jforms being rendered in 
that webpage. 

Maybe you want to change the widget for just that one form and leave the 
others unchanged. Sometimes, you do want to change your textwidgets 
application wide but sometimes you don't. So things get a little more 
complicated.  

There needs to be some way to define context for jform where you can 
customize just one single form. Basically JForm would need to have a 
dictionary of table or even form specific widgets where you could do 
something like.

jform.widgets.forms[myformid]['text'] = function(field) { return 
jform.tag('textarea',{'name':field.name
,'class':'form-control'})(field.value); }
jform.widgets.tables[tablename]['text'] = function(field) { return 
jform.tag('textarea',{'name':field.name
,'class':'form-control'})(field.value); }

So things do start to get messy. This solution, of course, isn't ideal if 
you are building a single page app as this context you're creating doesn't 
get automatically cleaned every call like it happens on the server side 
with SQLFORM so then you start to get strange interactions and bugs. Hence 
we have to figure out a smarter way to do it where the context is really 
available for just that one form and it goes away with it.
