TEXTAREA (text field on a form)

The TEXTAREA tag defines a multiline input field on an HTML form. A textarea field lets the user enter words, phrases, or numbers.

The following figure shows a textarea element: _IMG SRC="tags3a14.gif" HEIGHT=260 WIDTH=466>

Scrollbars appear if the text in the textarea element exceeds the number of columns or rows in the box.

To begin a new line in a textarea element, use a new paragraph. For example, the following textarea element contains two lines, a blank line, then one line:

<FORM>

<B>Description:</B>

<BR><TEXTAREA NAME="item_description" ROWS="6" COLS="55">

This is the first line.

This is the second line.



This is the last line.

</TEXTAREA>

</FORM>

_IMG SRC="tags3a15.gif" HEIGHT=199 WIDTH=379>

Syntax

<TEXTAREA COLS="value" required
NAME="textareaName" required
ONBLUR="blurJScode" ONCHANGE="changeJScode" ONFOCUS="focusJScode" ONSELECT="selectJScode" ROWS="integer" WRAP="OFF"|"HARD"|"SOFT" >textToDisplay
</TEXTAREA>

COLS="value" defines the width (number of characters per line) the textarea can accommodate without scrolling.

NAME="textareaName" specifies the name of the textarea element. This value is the name portion of the name=value pair sent to the server when the form is submitted. The name is not displayed on the form.

ONBLUR="blurJScode" specifies JavaScript code to execute when the textarea element loses focus. See the JavaScript Guide for information on event handlers.

ONCHANGE="changeJScode" specifies JavaScript code to execute when the textarea element loses focus and its value has been modified. See the JavaScript for information on event handlers.

ONFOCUS="focusJScode specifies JavaScript code to execute when a user clicks the textarea element or tabs to it. See the JavaScript Guide for information on event handlers.

ONSELECT="selectJScode" specifies JavaScript code to execute when a user selects some of the text in the textarea element. See the JavaScript Guide for information on event handlers.

ROWS="integer" defines the height (number of rows) the textarea can accommodate without scrolling.

textToDisplay specifies the label to display in the textarea.

WRAP specifies whether lines longer than the textarea's column width wrap to the next line. Navigator 2.0. The value can be:

OFF disables word wrap. Text the user types is displayed exactly as typed. If the user explicitly inserts a line break, however, the break is included as part of the textarea's value.
HARD causes word wrap, and the line breaks are included when the form is submitted.
SOFT causes word wrap, but the line breaks are not included when the form is submitted.

Used within

FORM

Example

The following example creates a textarea element that is 6 rows long and 55 columns wide. The textarea field appears immediately below the word "Description:". When the form loads, the textarea element contains several lines of data, including one blank line.

<FORM>

<B>Description:</B>

<BR><TEXTAREA NAME="item_description" ROWS="6" COLS="55">

Our storage ottoman provides an attractive way to

store lots of CDs and videos--and it's versatile

enough to store other things as well.

COLSPAN="value" indicates the number of columns the cell spans.

NOWRAP specifies that the lines within a cell cannot be broken (in other words, are not word wrapped).

Line breaks are not ordinarily inserted into the text contained within a

&lt;NOBR&gt; block, which can produce some awkwardly long lines.

<WBR>

If the text contains a &lt;WBR&gt; tag, however, it marks a location
where the insertion of a line break is permitted.

</NOBR>

an <XMP> block are displayed rather than interpreted.
