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.
