Textboxes

This page demonstrates how to create textboxes for your website or blog.

Textboxes allow the user to enter their own content into your website. This can be used for a "Comments" section or for a fully fledged publishing system. Note that this page only shows you how to create HTML textboxes - not the "backend" code that is required to make the textbox work within a publishing system or other system.
