textAreaInput

textAreaInput(inputId, label, value = "", width = NULL, height = NULL,
  cols = NULL, rows = NULL, placeholder = NULL, resize = NULL)

Arguments

inputId	The input slot that will be used to access the value.
label	Display label for the control, or NULL for no label.
value	Initial value.
width	The width of the input, e.g. '400px', or '100%'; see validateCssUnit.
height	The height of the input, e.g. '400px', or '100%'; see validateCssUnit.
cols	Value of the visible character columns of the input, e.g. 80. If used with width, width will take precedence in the browser's rendering.
rows	The value of the visible character rows of the input, e.g. 6. If used with height, height will take precedence in the browser's rendering.
placeholder	A character string giving the user a hint as to what can be entered into the control. Internet Explorer 8 and 9 do not support this option.
resize	Which directions the textarea box can be resized. Can be one of "both", "none", "vertical", and "horizontal". The default, NULL, will use the client browser's default setting for resizing textareas.

Value
