One more

Question

Hey again, I just posted a question, but now I have one more. I have a teaxtarea in my site, but the "placeholder" and even "value" attribute doesnt show anything in the textbox, so its impossible for me to give a hint to the user. Im trying with placeholder="text" and value="text"... Maybe I broke something with the CSS, but cant understand what.

HTML: <textarea placeholder="test" rows="4" cols="45">
</textarea>

CSS: textarea {
border: 2px solid goldenrod;
border-radius: 15px;
background-color: ghostwhite;
resize: none;
}

Thanks in advance!

Wow! It works perfectly now. After I saw your comment I move the </textarea> on the same line, but there was 1 space break between the tags and it show me the text after I hit backspace in the textarea, after this I put them next to each other exactly how you say without any space and now works perfectly. Thanks a lot !
