HTML textarea Tag
HTML textarea Tag
The textarea tag is a multi-line text input control. It is used in a form that collects user input like comments or reviews. It can hold an unlimited number of characters. We can specify its size by cols and rows attributes. The name attribute is needed to reference the form data after the form is submitted. The id attribute is needed to associate the text area with a label. For best performance, we use label tag with it.
