Based on your previous questions, it occurred to me that you might be trying to make a content management system where users can add formatted text to web pages. If so, you need a Rich Text Editor similar to the one this web forum uses.

Tiny MCE is one used on many websites.

https://www.tiny.cloud/

It has options for adding toolbars across the top to simulate actual word processing apps.

Is that what you're trying to do?

A form textarea field will be of no value to you without some programming to make it work.

Are you a skilled programmer with a good understanding of how to build safe & secure content management systems?

To give you a real basic example of <textarea> in a contact form, see below.

This is the front-end code sans your-form-processing-script to make it function.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML5 Form</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<style>
body {width:75%; margin:0 auto}
.container {
	background-color: antiquewhite;
	list-style-type: none;
	padding: 0;
	border-radius: 3px;
}
.form-row {
	display: flex;
	justify-content: flex-end;
	padding: .5em;
}
.form-row > label {
	padding: .5em 1em .5em 0;
	flex: 1;
}

.form-row > input, .form-row > button, .form-row > textarea {
        padding: .5em;
        flex: 2;
}

.form-row > button {
	background: gray;
	color: white;
	border: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="your-form-processing-script.php" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>Form in a Browser</legend>
<ul class="container">
<li class="form-row">
<label for="username">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" placeholder="First &amp; Last" required></li>
<li class="form-row">
<label for="email">Email Address:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" placeholder="you@domain.com" required></li>
<li class="form-row">
<label for="Remarks">Remarks:</label>
<textarea rows="5" maxlength="256" id="remarks">Type here... limit 256 characters.</textarea></li>
<li class="form-row">
<button type="submit">Submit</button></li>
<li class="form-row">
When user clicks "Submit" button, input data will be sent to a file on the server called "your-form-processing-script.php".</li>
</ul>
</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hope that helps.

My first sentence got cut off..I finally found a Texbox for dreamweaver and added it to a page. It worked great. I brought up a new page and added the textbox and itr would not work If you look at the "D" in the textbox above, it should have stayed in the white box. I then tried to use the textbox on another workstation and it did not work. I have no Idea why it worked the first time and never again on any workstation ..I am about to take the screws out of the window and jump!!!!

I would love to know what you are trying to do. The so-called text box that you are showing is a form input field. This value of this field can be posted to the back end and stored in a database.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
