I have learned so much more in 30 mins from watching some of these tutorials than I did in 50 mins in out first html lesson at school. Thought I'd learn a bit more to make it easier for myself, ended up learning a lot more than I expected! You are really good at explaining the tags and commands, etc. Thanks!! : ) we will see how much it helps at my final exam in a year and a half.... *shivers*

the reason why <textarea> has to have its closing tag </textarea> is because you can put some text in between the opening and closing tags so that text would be showen to the user as a default text and they can delete it or continue writting.

What does the </br> tag do again? I thought you didn't need to close <br> tags.

[maximuskhylesyro]

I have been learning from your videos and I would like to apply it to my teachings, can I use your videos to teach my students as well in the future? I would also like to make exams patterned after every lesson in your tutorial!

Bro.. Where the information will go after submission..

[oliciaaxelou]

Hello everyone! I ran this code without <form> tag and it worked fine! Why do we need it then..?

[SonamDorjimakelifemeaningful]

Thank you so much.
by the way where does my "comments" go when i click the "submit" button. It got disappeared!

[AbhishekSingh-ulwz]

setting rows="1" in textarea tag we can form one line text box then Why should we remember an additional "input tag"?

[jacobschwabenbauer]

Is there a way i could have my submit button also a link to another page

[AkhilSharmaTech]

if you don't write value ="submit", it still shows the button with a "submit" text.

[Doctorpopets]

I'm using google chrome on macbook air.

I don't know why but this

<textarea rows="30" cols="100"></textarea>

doesn't change the size of the text area.

But this without qoutes

<textarea rows=30 cols=100></textarea>

works well. Is it ok? How would I fix this?

[prateekkolhe]

Sir, even though you fixed the number of rows as '10', then why the browser automatically adds a scroll bar?? Rather it should restrict us from adding more text.

[ajaysb]

After submission where will the information get saved ?? Give some more clarification for the submit thing

[marilynbrazzell]

im really confused about the "comment:" part. why didn't he have to use <p>? is this just a unique word?

[AkhilSharmaTech]

the label property does not work with text area? i tried multiple text boxes out of which one was a text area and the results aren't consistent.

[proteetiprova]

out of curiosity i removed the form tags but the textarea tags are still working.How is that possible ?
So this textarea doesn't need the form tags to execute?

[sujatakumbhar]

For button i put input type=button instead of submit.... It returns me a button in the form... Is there any difference between input type submit and button??
