Multiple-Line Text Input Controls Notes

If you want to allow a visitor to your site to enter more than one line of text, you should create
a multiple-line text input control using the <textarea> element.

Example:
<form action=”/cgi-bin/hello_get.cgi” method=”get”>
Description : <br />
<textarea rows=”5" cols=”50" name=”description”>

Enter description here...
</textarea>
<input type=”submit” value=”submit” />
</form>

Following is the detail of above used attributes for <textarea> tag:

z name: The name of the control. This is used in the name/value pair that is sent to the
server.

z rows: Indicates the number of rows of text area box.
z cols: Indicates the number of columns of text area box.

Button

You can create clickable button in HTML using <input> tag. When you use this tag, the type of
button you create is specified using the type attribute.
The type attribute can take the following values:

z submit: This creates a button that automatically submits a form.
z reset: This creates a button that automatically resets form controls to their initial values.
z button: This creates a button that is used to trigger a client-side script when the user clicks
that button.
