<TEXTAREA> and </TEXTAREA>

Description:

The <TEXTAREA> tag is used in forms to get multiple lines of text from the user.

Attributes:

accesskey="char"
	Sets the access key to the character. This allows key sequences to be pressed by a user to proceed directly to certain fields. On Windows, keys are proceeded by ALT and on Macintosh by CMD.
cols="n"
	Number of columns in the text box.
disabled
	Disables input for the field.
name="name"
	The name of the field. Valid names are typically defined by the routine specified in the ACTION attribute of <FORM>.
onblur=JavaScript
	Javascript routine to be executed if the field losses the focus (is the field receiving input at the current time).
onchange=JavaScript
	Javascript routine to be executed if the field changes.
onfocus=JavaScript
	Javascript routine to be executed if the field gets the focus (is the field receiving input at the current time).
onselect=JavaScript
	Javascript routine to be executed if some text or element is selected. Very useful for <TEXTAREA>.
readonly
	Indicates the field may not be modified by the user.
rows="n"
	Number of rows in the text box.

Examples:

<form method="POST" 
    action="http://rloweweb.com/cgi-bin/ennyfrms.cgi">
  <p><textarea name="Comments" rows="5" cols="54" Wrap="virtual">
  </textarea></p>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1">
  <input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>

As you can see, <TEXTAREA> produces a nicely formatted box for getting lines of text from the user.
