What is text area?

Question

in form

Answer 1

a textarea is basically a "large text input". By default, it can be resized by the user.
For example, in a contact form. say you need two information. your user's email and the message. Here, for the user's email you would better use an input (text or email input) as usually emails are not that long. as for the message, a text area is much more convenient as it is suitable for long texts(like forum posts as well). Bear in mind that both can be used. it's just that a text area is much more practical for long texts. just think of it as a big input in terms of size(even tho you can also make a large input by playing with the width and the height of it)
