Tag Reference - textarea
Description
Attributes
accesskey
Defines a keyboard shortcut for selecting this item (or "clicking" a button)
class
The CSS style class to be applied to this tag. This could be used, for example, to create a style for "important" items, using a line in the style sheet as below:
.important { font-color: red }
This can be applied to the tag as follows:
<b class="important">This is important.</b>
.important { font-color: red }
This can be applied to the tag as follows:
<b class="important">This is important.</b>
cols
The value for this attribute should be a comma-delimited list of sizes for the columns in the frameset. These can be pixel sizes, percentages or "*", which indicates that the frame occupies the remaining space. "*" can also be prefixed by a number, to determine how the remaining space is divided. For example, specifying "*,3*" is the same as "25%, 75%". Using "50%, *, *" would create a frame occupying half of the screen (or parent frame), followed by two 25% width frames.
