Source HTML — Text area

Use traditional HTML syntax to create a text area (also known as a text block). Enter a property name as the value of the NAME attribute.

<TEXTAREA NAME=".myProperty" ROWS="n" COLS="n">your default text</TEXTAREA>

For the value of rows, enter the height of the text area in rows. The default value is 4.

For the value of columns, enter the width of the text area in characters. The default value is 40. (This value determines the appearance of the text area but doesn't affect how many characters a user can type.)

VANDJ 1/21/03 If this TEXTAREA tag is defined in an HTML Property rule, omit the NAME attribute. The system supplies the NAME attribute from the property rule that references the HTML Property rule.
