I am a little puzzled by the edit-text widget’s design.
It uses html’s or tag for data entry, yet the widget does not support some of the basic input tag’s attribute? For instance while 's “rows” attribute is supported, there is no way to set the “cols” attribute.
In a similar vein, the html tag has support for data entry of numbers using the “type=number” attribute. Yet, we cannot specify the “min” and “max” attributes.
I feel adding support for these three attributes should be quite simple and would add significant functionality to the widget. Does anyone agree with me?
