Adding Text Area to an HTML Document

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Dorian Winterfeld, on behalf of Expert Village. I've been doing web programming for about 10 years and today we are going to cover the basics of HTML. Now, another type of field that we could add is called a text area, which is a larger area to enter some text. Let's put it in it's own paragraph, let's say comments, that we're going to, that's what people are going to see, if someone wants to enter their first name, last name, and some comments. This tag is called text area, that's a larger area where you can enter text, we're going it some attributes, we're going to give it rows, how many rows do you want it to be, I'm going to say 3, oh, remember everything has to be in quotes. Columns, cols, let's say how many columns we want it to be, you'll see 50's a good choice, text area, we have to it a name to the field, that's required, we'll call it "comments". We're going to, and this is for a text area, we do put the closing text area tag and then we are going to close our paragraph, we're going to save the page, and go back to our webpage and you can see, now we have a comments field.
