FAQ

How tall is each textarea?

Short Note sets rows to 2, Comment sets rows to 4, and Essay sets rows to 8. Each one is its own Field in a FieldGroup.

What are the placeholders?

They are Brief note..., Your comment..., and Write your essay.... Each placeholder clears once someone types in that box.

How do the labels connect?

FieldLabel names that Textarea. Field connects the two for you, with no ids to write. The labels are Short Note, Comment, and Essay.

What stacks the three boxes?

FieldGroup stacks them in one column, capped with max-w-md. None of the fields set orientation, so each label stays above its box.

How do I add a hint under one box?

Put FieldDescription after that Textarea. These three fields are only a label and a textarea.

Where is the typed text stored?

None of these textareas keep their text in component state. Each browser field holds what was typed.
