Styling list field - textarea, dropdowns, checkbox, etc...

Hi there,
on a list field with two columns I would like the first column fields to be as they are out of the box, but the second column fields to be textareas (or some kind of other field like dropdown or checkbox). Which options are possible and how would I achieve this? There is not much about the list field in the documentation, it would be great to add some forum links where those topics have been discussed and solved. I'm sure I have seen a solution for my problem a while back, but just cannot find it....

My main concern is to create a textarea in one of the columns though! So if you could point me in the right direction, that would be great. Thanks...

I Found the post, but it only allowed dropdown in list field. Is it possible to have a textarea now too? I basically would like to change a list field from text to textarea.

Hi Chris,
are you planning to change this in the near future (next 3 month) and to include what field types? If not, is there some kind of workaround to allow other field types - well mainly textarea really?
