Have a look at MATableRenderer and MACssRenderer to see how to write a renderer.

I am using Magritte to handle the generic input form that we have which has about 20 fields. They are basically a pulldown menu and then a possible comment on the result. (this is for a safety application) By default Margritte lays them down one after the other in a list style. We want to have it displayed in 2-3 columns across so that it all fits on one screen. Is this something that magritte can do or do we need to a totally custom screen? I keep finding references in the magritte area that says just set a custom rendering together and override the defaults but can’t find any descriptions or examples of what this might look like and am just not bright enough to figure it out on my own. Any pointing in the right direction would be appreciated. Nice work.

textarea {width:200px;}

to style a specific tag by name, use its id

#notesField {width:200px;}

to style it by class, assign a class to the tag, and create a CSS class for it

.bigTextAreas {width:200px;}

I just take it for granted that anyone getting into programming in Seaside, already has a decent knowledge of basic CSS. I can’t imagine learning Seaside before learning CSS, it wouldn’t make sense.

So much for my humour ;)

Do know what the syntax is for what I need to put in the style selector to change the textarea size ?

I’ve googled for ‘css textarea’ .. ‘texarea css’ and other variations / tutorials, but haven’t found the right ‘magic’ words. There is not much documentatoin on the Seaside site either. I’m digging through the Pier application to see how the textareas have been setup but haven’t found it yet either.

If not … I’ll keep looking :)

Is it called “Small Reddit” because the textareas are so small ? :)

Seriously, I’m new to Seaside and Squeak/Smalltalk programming and I’m looking through the docs, but haven’t found where the textarea sizes are set. Can you give me a hint ?
