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>

For all supported argument 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 VEForAll extension, it lets you use a textarea with the VisualEditor interface for rich text editing. To associate a textarea with VisualEditor, add editor="ve". You can have as many VE editors on a page as needed.
