Synopsis
How to render a textarea input field
Description
textarea elements create larger text input fields that let the user enter a text. It also differs from other input fields as there is no value you can set. Instead you use an opening input type and a closing one. The value will be in between. See example.
Parameters
<textarea></textarea>
There is one non-HTML5 argument you can use together with a textarea and it is called source. When you add the argument source="<FULLPAGENAME>" to a textarea, FlexForm will grab the main content of that page and put it inside the textarea. Example : source="Main page", will put the main content of the main page inside the textarea.
For all supported HTML5 arguments have a look at the link at the links section.
Example
<textarea name="comment" placeholder="Type your comment" required="required">This is the text value</textarea>
Notes
VisualEditor
If you have installed the VisualEditor and VEForAll extensions, you can associate a textarea with the VisualEditor interface for rich text editing. To do so, just add editor="ve" to your textarea. You can have as many VE editors on a page as needed.
Version note
In earlier versions of FlexForm, you would use an _input with type="textarea".
