HTML DOM Textarea Object
Textarea Object
The Textarea object represents a text-area in an HTML form. For each instance of an HTML <textarea> tag
in a form, a Textarea object is created.
You can access a Textarea object by indexing the elements array (by number or
name) of the corresponding form or by using getElementById().
