This question is for anyone with some html and/or php experience. I have an input box like this <div style='padding-top:5px;'> <b>Question Text</b><br/> <input name='questionText' id='questionText' type='textarea' value="<?php echo fnFormOutput($questionText);?>" style='width:500px; ' /> </div> I would like to use a textarea for the user input instead of the input tag. But the usage of the two tags is a little bit different. Any help is appreciated. Title Comments This question is for anyone with some html and/or php experience.
