Is there anybody out there using the XML Form Generator? I have a problem with textareas to use the rows parameter. I have it a rows=“6” value but the field still is only two lines high. When I look with firebug I see there is a ROWS parameter with the element but now value. That made me wonder if there might be a bug in the generator - or, more likely, I make a mistake there somewhere.

Hello Merlin

Setting rows for textarea in XML Form Generator file doesn’t reflect in created form files. This is happening due to retrieval of row values using wrong attribute name. The “rows” attribute in xml file is converted to “max_length” attribute by the plugin. But in openemr to retrieve the rows value “fld_rows” attribute is used.

So we need to retrieve the rows value using “max_length” instead of “fld_rows” attribute and set to textarea rows.

Do the following change in the line 178 in file library/options.inc.php 

    $textRows = htmlspecialchars( $frow['max_length'], ENT_QUOTES);

Hope this helps.
