The <TEXTAREA> element
The TEXTAREA element is used to accept free-form text from your visitors.
It requires a start and end tag:
<TEXTAREA></TEXTAREA>
The attributes are:
name This is the name of the value or values that are returned to the
script for processing.
rows This is the number of rows of text that are visible
on the screen.
cols This is the number of columns of text.
readonly This attribute shows the contents of the TEXTAREA
element but does not allow editing the text.
accesskey This attribute defines the shortcut key that will be used
for this form element.
The <LABEL> element
The Label element enables you to attach text to the control. The LABEL element
makes control more visible to visitors. This element consist of a start and end tag.
The content is text and the attributes are:
accesskey This is the shortcut key for this form element
for This attribute indicates the ID value of the control it
is associated with.
How does the LABEL element work? First you need to create a control
with a specific id attribute. Now we need a LABEL element with the
text we want to associated to that control we just created. The for
attribute of the label element must match with the value of the id
attribute of the control. And now you have text with your form control.
Here is an example on how both TEXTAREA and LABEL element
are used.
