How to Format the Text Area
The HTML "textarea" tag gives your website or blog readers the ability to enter comments or feedback and submit the information to your email or database. This tag uses an optional "class" property to define the style applied to the element, such as the font, background color, font color and the element's width and height. Implement the textarea class on any Web page using CSS in your class style sheet.
