Inserting a line break in TEXTAREA in a FORM

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I have this code in my FORM html…

<textarea cols=63 rows=10 name=sender_message>[ I would also like to attend the CD-Announcement Party. ]</textarea>

So, that text starts right at the beginning of the textbox on the webpage. How can I shove it down a couple of lines? So there’s blank space between the start of the textbox and that message I’m inserting.

@AdamGundryJul 31.2003 — Textareas work like preformatted text, taking the spacing/line breaks from the HTML, so you can do this:

<textarea cols=63 rows=10 name=sender_message>


[ I would also like to attend the CD-Announcement Party. ]

</textarea>
