<TEXTAREA NAME=string, ROWS=z, COLS=y> </TEXTAREA>

The TEXTAREA command is used with Forms, and sets up an area that visitors can type in. The user can enter more than one line of text when using this command.

The NAME attribute is used to give the text area a name, which is used by the script which processes the form. ROWS and COLS are used to give the height and width of the text area, in terms of number of characters that can be used.
