textareaElemente

A textarea element is a standard HTML control that allows users to input multiline plain text. It is defined using the HTML `<textarea>` tag. Unlike a single-line input field, a textarea provides a scrollable box for entering longer pieces of text, such as comments, messages, or lengthy descriptions.

The content of a textarea element is placed between the opening `<textarea>` and closing `</textarea>` tags. Attributes can be added to the `<textarea>` tag to control its behavior and appearance. Common attributes include `name` for identifying the form data, `rows` to suggest the visible number of lines, and `cols` to suggest the visible width in average character widths. The `placeholder` attribute can provide a hint to the user about what content is expected.

When a form containing a textarea element is submitted, the text entered by the user is sent as part of the form data, typically associated with the `name` attribute specified. Textarea elements are widely used on websites for user feedback, forum posts, and any application requiring free-form text input. Developers can also use JavaScript to manipulate textarea content, validate input, or dynamically change its attributes.
