I am not sure I understand your question. The book is correct 'text'
is rendered by a textarea. Here is an example:
$ python web2py.py -S welcome -M
>>> print SQLFORM.factory(Field('test','text'))
<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"><table><tr
id="no_table_test__row"><td><label for="no_table_test"
id="no_table_test__label">Test: </label></td><td><textarea
class="text" cols="40" id="no_table_test" name="test" rows="10"></
textarea></td><td></td></tr><tr id="submit_record__row"><td></
td><td><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></td><td></td></tr></
table></form>
same with formal SQLFORM, crud.create and crud.update.
Do you get a different output?
