Text Areas - The <textarea> Tag

Text areas are used to capture more than one line of information at a time. To create a text area, use the <textarea> </textarea> tags. The contents of the text area is between the two tags.

The main attributes for a text area are:

• name: the name of the text area
• rows: number of rows to display
• cols: number of columns to display

Example:

<textarea name='S1' rows='10' cols='20'></textarea>
