OK, I see it now. Is there a way to change how the custom.widget serialize? For example: {{=form.custom.widget.texto}} Gets serialized into: <input class="string" id="sugerencias_texto" name="texto" type="text" value="" /> But I want a textarea like this: <textarea name="texto" cols="35" rows="8" id="question_2434" onKeyUp="counterUpdate('question_2434', 'countBody','8000');"></textarea> (but also to keep the validation provided by web2py). Can I do this?
