The <textarea> Tag
The <textarea> tag creates a multiline text-entry
area in the user’s browser display. In it, the user may type a
nearly unlimited number of lines of text. When the form is
submitted, the browser sends the text along with the
name specified by the required
name attribute.
You may include plain text between the <textarea> tag
and its end tag </textarea>.
The browser uses that text as the
default value for the text area.
You can control the dimensions of a multiline text area
by defining the cols and
rows attributes for the visible
rectangular area set aside by the browser for multiline input.
Normally, text typed in the text area by the user is transmitted to
the server exactly as typed, with lines broken only where the user
pressed the Enter key.
With the wrap attribute set to
virtual, the text is wrapped within the text area
for presentation to the user, but the text is transmitted to the
server as if no wrapping had occurred, except where the user pressed
the Enter key.
With the wrap attribute set to
physical, the text is wrapped within the text area
and is transmitted to the server as if the user had actually typed it
that way.
To obtain the default action, set the wrap
attribute to off.
