Textareakenttä

Textareakenttä, also known as a text area or textarea, is a graphical control element used in computer user interfaces. It is a multi-line text input field that allows users to enter and edit large amounts of text. Unlike a single-line text field, a textarea can accommodate multiple lines of text, making it suitable for longer messages, comments, or descriptions.

Textareas are commonly used in web forms, chat applications, and text editors. They are implemented using the <textarea> HTML element in web development. The element can be customized with various attributes, such as rows and cols, to define the size of the textarea, and placeholder to provide a hint to the user about what to enter.

In desktop applications, textareas are often found in word processors, email clients, and other text-editing software. They provide a larger space for users to input and manipulate text, with features such as word wrapping, scrolling, and formatting options.

The design and functionality of textareas can vary depending on the platform and the specific application. However, they generally serve the purpose of facilitating the input and editing of text in a user-friendly manner.
