Multiline HTML Text Box

The basic code for Multiline text box as follows

<textarea name="text">

</textarea>

As with any form element, we must specify a name (in this case text). You may have noticed that, unlike the standard text box and button, this form element has a closing tag. This is because, as well as allowing the user to enter more text than other elements, it is also designed to allow the webmaster to set more initial text. Anything between the closingand opening tags will be placed inside the textbox and, unlike with standard HTML, new lines taken in your code between these tags will be shown as new lines on the page.
