    We would like the message field (text) to show 4 lines of height so our users know they can type more than one line. And the content they key in should wrap.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hey @ladydawn,

    You can change the code of the last field from text to textarea. You can find an example code at https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_textarea.asp.

    Please note that MailChimp.com has a limit on the number of characters, so it’s very likely that some part of the message won’t be saved in MailChimp.

    Thanks.

    So, there is no need to include type=”input”?

    Does the 4 rows at 50 columns would equal 200 characters max?

    Hi,

    An input it always only one line, while a textarea can be multiple lines

    The size of the text area doesn’t restrict the number of characters. But you can add maxlength=”200″ to limit the length. This would be good practice because Mailchimp won’t save anything over 250 characters. 

    <textarea name="MESSAGE" rows="4" cols="50" maxlength="200">
    </textarea>

    Hope that helps. If you have any further questions please let me know.

    Kind regards,
