HTML

  • Learn the 7 input types of HTML forms
  • Complete HTML forms tags list
  • Join our busy webmaster forums!

The Textarea tag type creates a large window the user can enter text into.

Here is an example:

<textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="10">
Type in your comments here.
</textarea>

The code above would result in this (but only if with in <form> tags):

Here are the attributes to this input type

  • textarea * - tells the browser that a textarea window is starting

  • name * - when the form is submitted, this is the header the information in this field will go under

  • cols * - tells how wide the window will be

  • rows * - tells how tall the window will be

* = mandatory
