How to a Remove Vertical Scrollbar in an HTML Form Field Text Area
A "text area" text box displays a multi-line form field where users can type in long paragraphs and comments. You can limit the text area using the scroll bars that show up when the user types in text that exceeds the height of the field. You can control the vertical scroll bar using the "overflow" style property in the text area's tag declaration.
