The TEXTAREA Tag


The TEXTAREA tag can be used to place a multiline text entry field with optional default contents in a fill-out form. The attributes to TEXTAREA are as follows:

TEXTAREA fields automatically have scrollbars; any amount of text can be entered in them.

The TEXTAREA element requires both an opening and a closing tag. The default contents must be straight ASCII text. Newlines are respected

Examples:
  1. <TEXTAREA NAME="example">
    Default text goes here.
    </TEXTAREA>
  2. <TEXTAREA NAME="example" ROWS=5 COLS=25>
    Here's an example 
    specifying the size.
    </TEXTAREA>
  3. <TEXTAREA NAME="example" ROWS=3 COLS=28>
    	TABS!
    </TEXTAREA>
