The TextAreaFormElement class represents a text area element in an HTML form. You specify the size of the text area by setting the number of rows and columns. You can determine the size that a text area element is set for with the getRows() and getColumns() methods.
You set the initial text within the text area with the setText() method. You use the getText() method to see what the initial text has been set to.
TextAreaFormElement textArea = new TextAreaFormElement("foo", 3, 40);
textArea.setText("Default TEXTAREA value goes here");
System.out.println(textArea.getTag());
<form>
<textarea name="foo" rows="3" cols="40">
Default TEXTAREA value goes here
</textarea>
</form>
