HTMLDocument.addTextarea(3kaya)
NAME
HTMLDocument::addTextarea - Adds a textarea
SYNOPSIS
ElementTree addTextarea( ElementTree parent, String name, String ini- tialtext=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.
