ColdFusion&#160;MX&#160;7: Added this tag.
</p>

<p>
The following table lists attributes that ColdFusion uses directly. In HTML format, the tag also supports all HTML textarea tag attributes that are not on this list, and passes them directly to the browser.
</p>
<table>
  <tr valign="top">
    <td width="30"><strong>Note: </strong></td>
    <td>Attributes that are marked as Flash only are not handled by the skins provided with ColdFusion MX. They are, however, included in the generated XML.</td>

    <td valign="top" colspan="2" class="description"><span class="title">Usage</span>
<p>
For this tag to work properly in HTML format. the browser must be JavaScript-enabled.
</p>

<p>
If you put text in the tag body, the control displays all text characters between the cftextarea opening and closing tags; therefore, if you use line feeds or white space to format your source text, they appear in the control. 
</p>

<p>
If the cfform preserveData attribute is &quot;yes&quot;, and the form posts back to the same page, the posted value (not the value of the value attribute) of the cftextinput control is used.
</p>

<p>
For a detailed description of the validation attribute and the types of validation supported by ColdFusion, see the Usage section of the cfinput tag reference. For more details on ColdFusion MX validation techniques, see Chapter&#160;28, "Validating Data" in ColdFusion MX Developer's Guide.

    <td valign="top" colspan="2" class="description"><span class="title">Flash form data binding</span>
<p>
The bind attribute lets you populate form fields using the contents of other form fields. To specify text from another field in a cftextarea bind attribute, use the following format:
</p>

<p>
{sourceTagName.text}
</p>

<p>
For example, the following line uses the value of the text that the user enters in the from the userName field in the greeting in the comment text box. The user can change or replace this message with a typed entry.
</p>
<pre>&lt;cfformitem type=&quot;text&quot;&gt;
Enter your name here&lt;/cfformitem&gt;
&lt;cftextarea name=&quot;userName&quot; height=&quot;20&quot; Width=&quot;500&quot;/&gt; 
&lt;cftextarea name=&quot;comment&quot; html height=&quot;300&quot; Width=&quot;500&quot; 
   bind=&quot;Hello {userName.text}!
 Enter your comments here.&quot; /&gt;

  <tr>
    <td valign="top" colspan="2" class="description"><span class="title">Example</span>
<p>
This example has two cftextarea controls. When you submit the form, ColdFusion copies the text from the first control into the second. The onBlur maxlength validation prevents you from entering more than 100 characters. The &gt; character that closes the cftextarea opening tag, the text in the tag body, and the cftextarea closing tag are on a single line to ensure that only the desired text displays, but the line is split in this example for formatting purposes.
</p>
<pre>&lt;h3&gt;cftextarea Example&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;cfparam name=&quot;text2&quot; default=&quot;&quot;&gt;
&lt;cfif isdefined(&quot;form.textarea1&quot;) AND (form.textarea1 NEQ &quot;&quot;)&gt;
   &lt;cfset text2=form.textarea1&gt;
&lt;/cfif&gt;

&lt;cfform name=&quot;form1&quot;&gt;
   &lt;cftextarea name=&quot;textarea1&quot; wrap=&quot;virtual&quot; rows=&quot;5&quot; cols=&quot;25&quot;
   validate=&quot;maxlength&quot; validateAt=&quot;onBlur&quot; maxlength=&quot;100&quot; 
   &gt;Replace this text. Maximum length is 100 Characters, and this text is
currently 99 characters long.&lt;/cftextarea&gt;
   &lt;cftextarea name=&quot;textarea2&quot; wrap=&quot;virtual&quot; rows=&quot;5&quot; cols=&quot;50&quot;
