Hi Siegfried,
Thanks for helping. I guess I was so fixated with textarea (well I
assumed in was in there for a reason) that I missed looking for
type=textarea. Here is the working syntax anyone else who bumps into
my mistake:
$form->input('body',
array('type'=>'textarea', 'rows'=>'5',
'error' => array(
'minLength' => 'The body must have at least 2
characters',
'maxLength' => 'The body must have no more than
1000 characters'
)
));
Thanks again - Siegfried!
