Develop > Form > Form field > Scrolling Text Box

A scrolling text box is used to let a site visitor enter more text than would fit in a one-line text box.

Name

Enter a name for the scrolling text box. The name is used to distinguish this field from other fields in the same form.

Initial value

Enter the text that will initially appear in the text box when the document loads in a browser. Leave blank if you don’t want any initial text.

Width (characters)

Specifies the width of the text box in terms of characters. For example, enter 10 to make the text box the width of ten characters of average-width. Note that this is not an exact measure, so you may have to experiment with different values to get the intended width.

Number of lines

Specifies the height of the text box in number of lines. Note that this doesn’t limit the amount of text the site visitor can enter.

Style

Click to attach a CSS style to the text box using the Styles dialog box.
