Textarea Element
The <textarea>
element is a powerful tool for creating a multi-line text input field on a web page. It allows users to input and submit more significant amounts of text than the <input>
element, which is limited to a single line of text.
The <textarea>
element consists of an opening <textarea>
tag and a closing </textarea>
tag. Any text placed between these tags will serve as the default value for the text area.
Attributes
name
- specifies the name of the text area, which is used to identify the field when the form is submitted.
rows
and cols
- determine the number of visible rows and columns of the text area, respectively. They allow us to specify the width and height of the text area.
placeholder
- provides a short hint to the user about the expected information in the text area. It is displayed as a temporary placeholder until the user starts typing.
maxlength
- specifies the maximum number of characters that can be entered in the text area. It helps enforce character limits or restrictions.
readonly
- readonly attribute, when added to the <textarea>
element, makes the field read-only, preventing users from modifying the text. It is useful when displaying pre-filled or non-editable content.
