JAVA APPLET
A TextArea is like a TextField
except that it can have multiple lines and has significantly more
functionality. In addition to what you can do with a TextField, you
can append text and insert or replace text at a given location. It seems
like this functionality could be useful for TextField as well, so
it’s a little confusing to try to detect how the distinction is made.
You might think that if you want TextArea functionality everywhere
you can simply use a one line TextArea in places where you would
otherwise use a TextField. In Java 1.2, you also got scroll bars
with a TextArea even when they weren’t appropriate; that is, you
got both vertical and horizontal scroll bars for a one line TextArea.
Here is a sample code using TextArea
