Allows programmatic access to the <textarea> HTML element on the server.

The HtmlTextArea control <textarea runat=server> defines a multiline text input control wherein users can enter one or more lines of text.

The number of lines ( height ) and the number of characters per line ( width ) ( that the <textarea> can accommodate without scrolling ) can be specified with the rows and cols attribute, respectively.

Scrollbars appear in the <textarea> if the text exceeds the number of specified rows or columns.

<textarea> defaults to a fixed-pitch font, though CSS font styles may be applied with the style attribute.

The following sample illustrates using the HtmlTextArea control.
