Hi classmates,
What's the difference between the two? Have you notice that you can do this in the following way:
<input type="textarea" name=""/>
or
<textarea id="bio" name="user_bio"> </textarea>

Textarea is where you woudl write a paragraph, a essay, a book.. anything thats LONG.
I don't think type="textarea" is valid, but i might be wrong.
