How do I make the input box bigger?

Question

I'm trying to make this comment box bigger but can't seem to figure out how. Just wondering if you guys could help. This is what I've tried to do.

<form action="" target="_blank">
  <br>
  First name:<br>
  <input type="text" name="firstname" value="">
  <br>
  Last name:<br>
  <input type="text" name="lastname" value="">
  <br><br>
  Comment:<br>
  <input type="text" rows="4" cols="50" name="comment" value="">
  <br><br>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form> 

Answer 1

You'll want to use the textarea attribute for that kind of larger, multi-line text field.

<form action="" target="_blank">
  <br>
  First name:<br>
  <input type="text" name="firstname" value="">
  <br>
  Last name:<br>
  <input type="text" name="lastname" value="">
  <br><br>
  Comment:<br>
  <textarea rows="4" cols="50" name="comment"></textarea>
  <br><br>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
