increase the length of the options' text input

One workaround is to put javascript in the option's description that replaces the option's input element with a textarea element.

< elem.attributes.length; i++) { var attrib = elem.attributes[i]; if (attrib.specified == true) { newNode.setAttribute(attrib.name,attrib.value); } } parent.replaceChild(newNode,elem); } tagId=document.getElementsByName("extra.option.opt1")[0].id; transformTag(tagId); document.getElementsByName("extra.option.opt1")[0].setAttribute('rows','25'); document.getElementsByName("extra.option.opt1")[0].setAttribute('cols','50'); document.getElementsByName("extra.option.opt1")[0].setAttribute('maxlength','10000');

re-formatting :(

function transformTag(tagId){
    var elem = document.getElementById(tagId);
    var children = elem.childNodes;
    var parent = elem.parentNode;
    var newNode = document.createElement("textarea");
    for(var i=0;i<children.length;i++){
        newNode.appendChild(children[i]);
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < elem.attributes.length; i++) {
        var attrib = elem.attributes[i];
        if (attrib.specified == true) {
           newNode.setAttribute(attrib.name,attrib.value);
        }
    }
    parent.replaceChild(newNode,elem);
}


tagId=document.getElementsByName("extra.option.opt1")[0].id;
transformTag(tagId);

document.getElementsByName("extra.option.opt1")[0].setAttribute('rows','25');
document.getElementsByName("extra.option.opt1")[0].setAttribute('cols','50');
document.getElementsByName("extra.option.opt1")[0].setAttribute('maxlength','10000');
