1. By using textarea:
Textarea is the easiest way to make a box in which we can write our text. It is a paired tag and also, we are able to change its height and width according to user’s choice
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> Title of the document<title>
</head>
<body>
<textarea name="textarea" cols="30" rows="10">
</textarea>
<textarea name="textarea" cols="50" rows="3">
The text written between these tags is shown in webpage and also , within border.
</textarea>
</body>
</html>
- First, we write <! DOCTYPE html> which we used as an instruction to the web browser about what version of HTML file is written in.
- Secondly, the <html> tag is used to indicate the beginning of an HTML document.
- As above now <head> tag is used to contain information about web page. In this tag a <title> tag is used which helps us to specify a webpage title. Both <head> and <title> tags are Paired tags. So, both have </head> and </title> ending tags respectively.
- Thirdly, <body> tag is used to define the webpage body. All the contents to show on website are written here. Now, here we use a tag known as textarea and the textarea as known is paired tag. Thus, it also has a closing tag.
- Generally, we not have to write code in between these tags because the text written between these tags is shown on webpages.
- Most of times, there is nothing in between these open and closing tags. The attributes used with these tags are name, id, rows and cols.
- Name is used to give name to tag, and id is used to link it with CSS and database. Where, rows are defined for its height and cols are for width.
- You can also able to change height and width as specified.
- At last, the <body> and <html> tags are closed with </body> and </html> respectively.
