<input type = "text" name = "test" size = 50>

This is a normal text field (50 columns wide and 1 row)
I want to make it 2 rows somehow. I don't want to use a <textarea> because when you hit enter it just goes to the next line in the textarea. I want it so when you hit enter it presses the submit button.

You can make the enter key submit using javascript. Take a look here: http://webdeveloper.earthweb.com/webjs/jstext/article.php/636591

You can change the width and height using CSS, but I don't believe you can make it wrap around, if that is what you're attempting to do.
