Also, this is a bug in webform upgrade. Previously (4.5.2), the width and height of a textarea were set by having the value of database field "extra" be, for instance, "80x40". Now it contains a structured string, as follows:

a:3:{s:11:"description";s:23:"Enter your message here";s:4:"cols";s: 2:"80";s:4:"rows";s:2:"40";}

Not a bug, a feature.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. The new implementation has certainly been improved to represent parameters as a structured string. But during upgrade, my dimensions themselves were not upgraded, so that my textareas had no dimensions, nor were the dimensions editable. I rescued my existing forms by entering the required structured string directly, to the mysql shell. Cheryl
