Text area

Text area

Like multi-line inputs, text areas allow users to enter more than one line. The only difference between these input types is that the text area has a fixed height and applies vertical scrolling when text exceeds the input's bounds.

The advantage of text areas over multi-line inputs is that text areas encourage longer responses with a larger initial size.

Pro Tip: If there is a limit to how much users can write, use helper text to indicate the character limit.
