System.Web.UI.HtmlControls Namespace HtmlTextArea Class
Sets or retrieves the display width of the text area.
| Inline |
<textarea cols = intChars ... > |
| Script |
HtmlTextArea.Cols [ = intChars ] |
| intChars |
Integer specifying the display width, in characters, of the text area. |
The property is read/write with a default value of 20.
Use the Cols property to specify or determine the width, in characters, of the HtmlTextArea control.
This property specifies the visible width in average character widths. Users may enter longer lines than specified, and browsers typically wrap the text on the next line of the control.
Note that Internet Explorer® by default wraps text in a <textarea>. The CSS overflow attribute, however, can be used to control scrollbar behavior.
To specify the display height of the control, set the Rows property.
The below code snippet shows how to declaratively set the Cols property of an HtmltextArea control at design time.
<textarea cols=40 rows=5 runat="server"
value="This is an HtmltextArea that is 5 rows high and 40 characters wide." />
Which would render as follows:
HtmlTextArea Members Rows
