I tried to create a profile form that will create a new activity. However, when I created a field for the activity details, in the form it just came out as a single line 21-character text box with no resize facility.      This is no good, as I want the user to be able to enter lots of data into this box.

I looked at the html source created, and it seems to be requesting a text box with multiple rows but it's just not happening in any browser!
      <input rows="8" cols="60" name="activity_details" type="text" id="activity_details" class="form-text">

Any ideas on how to do this?
