Textarea & Select

 

Textarea Element

• The textarea element is used when you need multiline text input from the user. This is particularly useful for comments, reviews, or any other type of input where the length is unpredictable.

<textarea name="comment" rows="4" cols="50">
      Enter your comment here...
</textarea>

• The rows and cols attributes define the visible dimensions of the textarea.

The Select Element

• The select element creates a dropdown menu for the user. It is useful when you have a predefined list of options for the user to choose from.

<select name="fruits">
      <option value="apple">Apple</option>
      <option value="banana">Banana</option>
      <option value="cherry">Cherry</option>
</select>

• Each option inside the select tag represents an item in the dropdown list.

Combining Textarea and Select

• you can combine textarea and select in the same form to capture varied types of user input.

<form action="/submit">
      <textarea name="comment" rows="4" cols="50">Enter your comment here...</textarea>
      <select name="fruits">
        <option value="apple">Apple</option>
        <option value="banana">Banana</option>
        <option value="cherry">Cherry</option>
      </select>
      <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
