Text Area |
Text Area is nothing but multiline textbox. TextArea is mainly used when the user has to enter large amount of text.
TextArea field can be created as :
<TextArea name="txtArea" rows="<number of rows>" cols="<number of columns>">
<Default text of the textArea>
</TextArea>
Attributes of TextArea Field:
Name: Specifies the name of the object through which it can be referenced.
Rows: Specifies the height of the textarea in characters.
Cols: Specifies the width of the textarea in characters.
Wrap: Specifies how the text is wrapped when it reaches the right-hand edge of the textarea box. This attribute possibly takes the following values
Off: If the wrap attribute is set to 'Off' then the text will not wrap and is submitted as it is entered by the user.
Readonly: This attribute will not let the user change the contents of the field.

<textarea name=y_msg rows=3 cols=40 readonly='readonly'></textarea>
Here is the demo.
