    Red face HTML INPUT TYPE=TEXT???

    I was wondering how to code html input text boxes. I need to know how to do multiline and scrollbars. And if possible selecting the text.

    I've looked through MSDN and can't find nothing that I want. I trying to build a HTML/ASP form; the 1st page will be the client form, 2page will be a varify page and the 3rd would insert records into a database.

    Thanks,

    Just for the others out there, the answer is not to use an Input box as this only allows single lines.

    You need to use a TEXTAREA which allows you to specify the number of rows and columns for you text box and any default text in the box:

    Code:
    &lt;textarea cols="40" rows="6"&gt;
Type your reply here...
&lt;/textarea&gt;
    You can always drop in some JavaScript code to select all the text when the textarea box gets the focus.
