The <textarea> tag
allows you to specify an area where any number of lines of
text can be entered:
<textarea name="fieldName" rows="nRows" cols="nCols">default text</textarea>
where:
fieldNameis an internal name that will be passed to the downstream CGI script as the name of this element.
nRowsis the number of rows in the window. This does not limit the amount of text that can be entered; it merely specifies the window size. The default value is 2.
nColsis the number of text columns in the window. The default value is 20.
default textThe text inside the <textarea> element appears
initially inside the text area on the form. This is a
good place to put instructions such as “Enter your
comments here.”
