How to Create a Textbox or Textarea in Blogger

Many bloggers make use of a text box either in their posts or somewhere in the sidebar to put emphasis onto some important texts or simply to display a list of links. The good thing with a text box is that it looks neat and you can re-size it accordingly, and you can put in as many texts as you want and enjoy from its scroll bar facility.



Below is an example of how a Text box looks like,

YOUR TEXT HERE e.g Dancing in the rain is so fun for girls that they start singing and jumping like crazy! Never forget that over reaction about something usually make people think twice before they hang out with you!

Note: To proceed with the text box you should do it on New Post >> "Edit HTML",it won't work if you do it on "Compose".

Users can add Texts
 The code below will give you a text box with no limit to the amount of text that can be inserted but browsers may have their own present limits.

<textarea rows="5" cols="40">YOUR TEXT HERE</textarea>

e.g
There is no limit to the amount of Text here...

Read Only Text Box
For this one readers can read or select and copy the text but they cannot input or edit any text in the text box. This can be done by inserting a <readonly> attribute into the textarea code.

Here is the code:

<textarea rows="2" cols="30" name="Famous Quotes" readonly="readonly">Your Text Here</textarea>

e.g
Users cannot edit, but can still select and copy....

Text Box with "select All" Hacks
This one will allow users to automatically select the whole text by just clicking in the text box.

<form><textarea rows="5" cols="40" onClick=select() readonly>Your Text Here.</textarea><form/>

e.g

Click here and it will automatically select all the text.

Link to site Text Box
This text box is use to display a code for readers to link you your Blog. 

<textarea rows="4" cols="25" name="Link to Site" readonly="readonly">Your Hyperlink Code Here</textarea>

e.g
<a href="http://www.YourDomainName.com">Your Domain Name</a>
