The <textarea> Tag (XHTML Reference)
Introduction
As the name of the tag already says, this is a tag, which
defines a textarea. It basically just a single input text control with a
multiple lines. With the attribute cols you can define how many columns it
should contain. The row attribute defines the amount of available rows of the
textarea. With defining this attribute you are basically defining the height of
the textarea. Remember that these attributes only define the display height of
the textarea, and not the length of the characters entered in the textarea,
which is unlimited.
Example
<textarea rows="5" cols="30">
Default text can be defined within the tags.
</textarea>
