Textarea​

Provides a text area for entry of multi-line text.

Options​

Special options within this field are:

  • Rows
    The height of the visible text area in lines. If omitted the height is determined by the browser. The value does not limit the number of lines that may be entered. The rows are active in the backend while creating an article or a contact or a third party component that supports custom fields. This option has no impact on the size of the field in the frontend.

The cols are active in the backend while creating an article or a contact or a third party component that supports custom fields. This option has no impact on the size of the field in the frontend.
