textarea
Multi-line entry field
A textarea is an input field in a web form that accepts multiple lines of text.
Unlike single-line text inputs, textareas allow users to enter longer content—comments, messages, or descriptions: Type your feedback in the textarea below.
The element can typically be resized by dragging its corner.
