Default text_field size

Hi all,

The default field size in a view is 30, which is too large for most of the fields in my application. Is there a way to set the default text_field size to something smaller without changing each field individually?

Thanks, James.

if you patch it like this, it'll change the default size to 20

module ActionView   module Helpers     class InstanceTag       DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS = { "size" => 20 }.freeze     end   end end

Cheers!

Thanks Arzumy. Patching my local copy of rails is a bit much for me at the moment. However, I did find another alternative in using a helper method, which I think I will do. Thanks!
