How do I set the height of a "text box" in ColdFusion? When I look at this in dreamweaver, the box is several rows tall, but when it displays in the browser, it's only one row.

<cfinput type="text" name="Comments" size="40" height="500" width="150" >

Hmmm... just changed it to <textarea name="comments" cols="35" rows="5" ></textarea>

and it works... didn't even have to worry about Pass Through.

Height and width are not valid attributes for a <input type="text" /> tag.

Reading this:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000279.htm

It only applies to Flash forms, or <cfinput type="image">.

I cannot comment on Flash forms, as I've never had call to use them (well:
I simply would never create a form in Flash, I guess)... are you creating
an HTML or a Flash form? If Flash, might be an idea to post this in the
"Rich Forms" forum.

Note: irrespective of what <cfinput> might think: there are still no
attributes height / width for a <input type="image" />. So if any browsers
support that, it's by accident rather than good planning.

I think you are confusing the text box and text area controls. I do not
think most browsers will change the height of a text box like that.
