Textarea

<textarea>

The <textarea> element is used to accept multiple lines or large amounts of text — for example, comment boxes or feedback forms.

Unlike text inputs, <textarea> is not a self-closing tag.

In addition to the name and id attributes, useful attributes for textarea elements include:

• rows — controls the height of the element, expressed as the number of lines of text to display
• cols — defines the width of the element, similar to the size attribute of text inputs

Note: The <textarea> element does not use the value attribute to set its initial contents.
To pre-populate a textarea, place the desired text between the opening and closing <textarea> tags.

<form action="/feedback" method="post" name="commentForm">
  <label for="comments">Your Comments:</label>
  <textarea
    id="comments"
    name="comments"
    rows="5"
    cols="40"
    placeholder="Enter your feedback here..."
    required
  >
