(Issue)HTML <textarea> Tag


The <textarea> tag is used for creating a box where you can type multiple lines of text.

The <textarea> element is commonly used in a form to gather information from users, such as comments or reviews.

A text area can contain many characters without any limit, and the text will appear in a font with a fixed width, typically Courier.

The dimensions of a text area are determined by the cols and rows attributes (or via CSS).

The name attribute is necessary to identify the form data after submitting the form. If you don't include the name attribute, no information from the text area will be sent.

The id is essential to connect the text area with a label.

Tip: Make sure to include the <label> tag for optimal accessibility practices!
