    • Where no text has been added to the text area:

      • A a text cursor will appear at the beginning of the text area.

      • The the hint text will disappear.

    • Where text already exists in the text area:

      • A a text cursor will appear in the position where the user clicks.

      • Doubledouble-clicking a word inside the text area will select that word.

      • Tripletriple-clicking the text area will select all of the text.

  • When the text area becomes inactive (user clicks away) the hint text will reappear, if no other text has been added.

  • If a character limit has been set, reaching the limit will prevent the user from entering any more characters.

  • In special cases, the height of the text area will increase automatically in response to the amount of entered text.

Validations and errors

Please refer to the Field validation page for more information.

A text area with a warning will have an orange border and a warning icon, as shown below: 

...

The orange or red border will be removed when the content is updated and becomes valid.

Best practices

...

Use:

  • where the user only needs to enter a large amount of text

Don’t Use:

  • where the user only needs to enter a short amount of text → use a Text Field.

General

  • Always provide a clear and meaningful preceding label for any input field.

  • Where appropriate, help users by providing a guiding/hint text describing the expected input text.
