How to make "extra Field" become "textarea&qu
 

I need to input a HTML table into extrafield. In order for the administrator to input the code easier, I would like to change the detault extra field type to texarea type. I;ve made server attempt and still not be able to work it out.

I tried to modify /modules/Extra_Fields/product_modify.tpl

{* $Id: product_modify.tpl,v 1.4 2003/02/18 09:33:11 svowl Exp $ *}
{section name=field loop=$extra_fields}
<tr>
<td class=ProductDetails height="11">{$extra_fields[field].field}</td>
<td class=ProductDetails height="11">
<input type="textarea" name="param0{%field.index%}" cols="45" rows="5" value="{if $product.productid eq ""}{$extra_fields[field].value}{elseif %field.index% eq 0}{$product.param00|escape}{elseif %field.index% eq 1}{$product.param01|escape}{elseif %field.index% eq 2}{$product.param02|escape}{elseif %field.index% eq 3}{$product.param03|escape}{elseif %field.index% eq 4}{$product.param04|escape}{elseif %field.index% eq 5}{$product.param05|escape}{elseif %field.index% eq 6}{$product.param06|escape}{elseif %field.index% eq 7}{$product.param07|escape}{elseif %field.index% eq 8}{$product.param08|escape}{elseif %field.index% eq 9}{$product.param09|escape}{/if}">
</td>
</tr>
{/section}

Please advise where should I change in order to have textarea field instead of text field

thanks
