TEXTAREA

TEXTAREA allows the user to enter multiple lines of text. It has three attributes:

NAME to associate the field data with some identifier, and ROWS and COLS to specify the size of the text area:

<TEXTAREA NAME="Address" ROWS=4 COLS=60>
University Libraries
Blacksburg, VA  
                    24060
</TEXTAREA>

The data between the start and end TEXTAREA tag is optional, but the end tag is required even if no default value is specified.
