How do I make a text area? Text areas allow you to type in a large amount of text so that it doesn't take up as much room on your page. Your visitor can scroll down the text area to read all the text in the box. Just include this tag in the body of your html, wherever you want the box to appear, you can change the "rows" and "cols" tag to make your text area any size you want:
 
<form><textarea rows="5" cols="20" >Put your text here</textarea></form>
 
This is what it would look like:

You can also dress up your text boxes with color. Adding a few style tags changes the color of the background, and you can also add a border. You can change the things that you see in bold text, the size of the box (rows and cols), the font, font color etc. The border color will be the same as your font color:

<form><textarea rows="5" cols="20" style="background:#your color here" style="font-family:your font here" style="color:#your font color here" "style="border style:solid">Put your text here</textarea></form> 

Another variation on the text area is a background. You can add a background to your text area by adding a simple style tag. Here is the code:

<form><textarea rows="5" cols="26" style="background-image: url('yourfilename.gif')" style="font-family:comic sans ms" style="color:#9900ff" style="border style:solid" wrap="virtual">Your text goes here</textarea></form>
