Forms: Create a Text Block

Create a Form	Remember that you create a form field with the <FORM></FORM> tag pair. Within the <FORM> tags will go the entire form, i.e. both the questions you ask and the form elements, i., e., the box and button spaces where the user will supply responses.
The Text Block	A text block allows the user to write a response in a larger space. Text blocks are useful for short answer responses. A text block can hold up to 32,700 characters. Scroll bars will appear in the text block if they are needed.
Example	Why are you taking this class?
	To create a text block, start with the <TEXTAREA></TEXTAREA> tag pair.
	Within the opening <TEXTAREA> tag add the NAME attribute to specify the class of information being gathered in the text box.
	Thus, the HTML code for the sample text box above is:
<TEXTAREA NAME="why"></TEXTAREA>
	Note the use of a closing tag. The default number of rows that appear on the screen in a text block is 4. To specify a different length for the text block, add the ROWS attribute to the opening <TEXTAREA> tag. The default number of characters in one line of a text block is 40. To specify a different width for the text block, add the COLS attribute to the opening <TEXTAREA> tag.
	If you wish, you can insert text between the two TEXTAREA tags. This text will display inside the text box.
Example	Why are you taking this class? I am taking this class because
	The HTML code for the sample text block above is:
Why are you taking this class? <BR> <TEXTAREA NAME="why" ROWS="8" COLS="25">I am taking this class because</TEXTAREA>
	Remember that this code goes within the <FORM></FORM> tag pair
