How to size the text area attribute

[HelenaM]

I tried to add a text area attribute to one of my products - but it comes out huge on the page. Is there a way to size it? I can't figure this out.
I'm using e-Commerce Made Easier - and on page 87 they should a page using the different types of attributes. I would like my text area attribute to look like the one on page 87.

Thanks for your help!

Isn't there a way to do this without purchasing a module??

My recommendation would be to use the module.

In some situations such as when the same attributes are displayed for all products -

The <mvt:item name="product_attributes" param="product:id" /> token could be replaced with the appropriate html code.

Use the html source code that Miva Merchant creates as a starting point.

Great care is needed in using this approach, and I don't advise doing it. But you asked. And there may be another approach that I'm not aware of.

Does anyone know how this was done in e-Commerce Made Easier - and on page 87? I would think they would mention if they used an add-on module to accomplish what they described in the book. It's written very well - telling you when modules are used or can be used to do certain things. I would be surprised if you couldn't do it the way it was in the book.

You can size the text areas (width and height) on a product display page with CSS.

Make sure the the following amendment is included in your product display layout code:


<div id = "productAttributes">
<mvt:item name="product_attributes" param="product:id" />
</div>


Then in your CSS:


#productAttributes textarea {
width: 175px;
height: 100px;
}


Seemed to work for me.

I set the width to 100% and it stayed contained..

I had almost forgot to div wrap the missing attribute page too..
