Usage

This is a Dojo control.

At run time, a text box appears on the page. The user can enter multiple lines of text in the box. The box expands as lines are added.

This control is not tested against the latest accessibility standards. The recommended accessible path is the Multiline Edit Box control.

Examples

This example consists of a text area bound to a scoped variable, a button for submitting the page, and a computed field that displays the value of the scoped variable.
