NAME¶
HTMLDocument::addTextarea - Adds a textarea
SYNOPSIS¶
ElementTree addTextarea( ElementTree parent, String name, String
initialtext=createString(0), Int rows=5, Int cols=40 )
ARGUMENTS¶
parent The parent element
name The name of the textarea. Remember that names starting with
"kaya_" may be used by the Kaya standard library and should not be
used directly by applications.
initialtext The initial contents of the textarea, if any. Thisparameter
is optional, with the empty string as a default.
rows The number of rows the fieldset has. This parameter may be omitted
for a default of 5.
cols The number of columns the fieldset has. This parameter may be
omitted for a default of 40. Note that there is no browser-independent
relationship between the number of columns in a text area, and the size of a
normal text input, so getting them to be consistently the same width is not
possible.
DESCRIPTION¶
Adds a textarea to a form. Remember that textareas may not be added directly to
the form - you need to add a block-level element such as
fieldset to
the form, and then add the textareas to that. Text areas are useful for
entering large amounts of user input, or where the user input needs to contain
new lines.
