Things To Do With Textarea Form Fields
The primary function of a textarea field is to accept input from a form user for the form processing script to do stuff with. You see their use in feedback forms, for example.
Another Common Use
Another use of the textarea field is to present text, such as program source code, for easy copying. We use this in many of our articles and blog entries. See http://willmaster.com/ for an example. (If no current blog entries contain source code in a textarea field when you arrive, click on the "[MORE ENTRIES]" link at the bottom of the page and then click on likely blog entry titles.)
