Html – Multiple lines of input in

html

I have this text input in a form:

<input type="text"
       cols="40" 
       rows="5" 
       style="width:200px; height:50px;" 
       name="Text1" 
       id="Text1" 
       value="" />

I am trying to get it to take multiple lines of input. The width and height make the box to be bigger, but the user can enter text all (s)he wants yet it fills one line only.

How do I make the input more like a textarea?

You need to use a textarea to get multiline handling.

<textarea name="Text1" cols="40" rows="5"></textarea>

Firefox 30 ignores autocomplete="off" for passwords, opting to prompt the user instead whether the password should be stored on the client. Note the following commentary from May 5, 2014:

The password manager always prompts if it wants to save a password. Passwords are not saved without permission from the user.

We are the third browser to implement this change, after IE and Chrome.

According to the Mozilla Developer Network documentation, the Boolean form element attribute autocomplete prevents form data from being cached in older browsers.

<input type="text" name="foo" autocomplete="off" />

Here's a page describing the differences (basically you can put html into a <button></button>)
And another page describing why people avoid <button></button> (Hint: IE6)

Another IE problem when using <button />:

And while we're talking about IE, it's got a couple of bugs related to the width of buttons. It'll mysteriously add extra padding when you're trying to add styles, meaning you have to add a tiny hack to get things under control.
