The <TEXTAREA>...</TEXTAREA> tag consists of several lines of text fields. In-between you would place any text you would like to be displayed.
The NAME attribute assigns a name to this input field. The program you will use to process this information will need to know the name of the field.
The ROWS and COLS attribute specifies the number of rows and columns that the field will have respectively.
The TABINDEX attribute specifies the order in which the field will be activated by pressing the tab button.
The WRAP attribute controls the wrapping of the text. The values are: off, virtual, and physical. If wrap is off then the text will be one long sentence without any line breaks. If wrap is virtual the text will be displayed with line breaks, but it will be sent to the server without line breaks. If wrap is physical the text is displayed and sent with line breaks.
Here is the code for an example of a text area:
<FORM ACTION="#">
<TEXTAREA COLS="20" ROWS="5" NAME="code" WRAP="physical">
The Oni of Ife and the Seated Scribe were chosen for the naturalistic features. Both pieces are impressive and beautiful. Although these two pieces don't share many similarities, both of their cultures share a few more similarities. The Oni of Ife bears resemblance to the head of King Sesostris III, both are portraits of leaders with serious expressions. Both the African tribes and the Egyptians held high respect for their leaders you can see in these two pieces. Although it may appear as if the Egyptians believed in not only respecting their leaders, but worshipped them. The Egyptians and the tribes of Africa also held animals with high regards as shown in the Leopards from Benin and the innumerable paintings of half animal - half human gods. Animals symbolized power and where also protectors.
