Would it be possible to add a label to the text input field, something like "Type your message here"?

The text field in the chatblock is also very small, it would be nice if it was an admin-defined length, and I'd love the ability to make it a multi-line textfield... small text fields are fine for idle chatter, but I'll be using this in a business context so users will appreciate ease of review before clicking Send!

  1. A configurable input field label is available with the next dev snapshot. Even more, with JS enabled, the "send" button will now be hidden and the field label appears as the widely familiar inline message (disappearing as soon as the input field is being activated).
  2. Input field size is now set to 100% width of the containing block. So, if you put the block into a wider region, the input field will grow automatically. You can also easily override the width using CSS.
  3. A multiline input is out of scope, at least for the moment. Using a wide region will provide a wider field; the message length is currently limited to 255 characters anyway. Also please don't mind that chatblock will primarily focus on simplicity and being tiny; if you want something really "big", chatroom module will be more likely to fit your needs.
