I've just started prototyping with Woody and I think it is a diamond in the raw. Finally a form handling package that does not require you to write a bean class or Cocoon action for every little form! Coming to the original question: There is no special textarea widget but you can emulate it easily by a field widget with styling: <wt:widget id="question"> <xhtml:textarea rows="5" cols="30" wrap="physical"/> </wt:widget> which is then transformed into HTML as: <xsl:template match="wi:field[wi:styling/xhtml:textarea]"> <xhtml:textarea name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> <xsl:apply-templates select="wi:styling/xhtml:textarea/@*"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="wi:value != ''"> <xsl:value-of select="wi:value"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="' '"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xhtml:textarea> </xsl:template> HTH, ALfred.
