</TABLE>
<P>
The TEXTAREA tag, used inside <A HREF="../block/form.html">FORM</A>s, sets up an area in which the
user can type text. This text will be sent to the server when the form
is submitted. The user can enter more than one line (as opposed to <<A HREF="../form/input.html">INPUT</A>
TYPE=text> which only permits one line), although he will have to
break lines himself.
<P>
The NAME attribute assigns the text area a name, used by the script which
processes the form. ROWS and COLS are used to specify the height and width
of the text area, in number of characters.
<P>
To supply default text for the text area, put it inside the TEXTAREA tag.
You may not use markup for this default value.
<H2>Notes:</H2>
<UL>
<LI>Not all browsers send the linebreaks that users type (if they do so
at all), so your script may have to rewrap the text itself.
