Hi,

I read from this site Site that aria-multiline is to provide the multi line attribute.

Can you please anyone tell the difference between these two controls

HTML

<textarea rows="4" cols="50" id="text"></textarea>

<textarea rows="4" cols="50" aria-labelledby="aria-text-label" id="aria-text" role="textbox" aria-multiline="true"></textarea>

Is it possible to provide a textbox multiline like this

HTML

<input type="text" role="textbox" aria-multiline="true" />

Thanks

Arjun

Aria itself is always written in a single line: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aria[^].

If a sheet music piece is written in several lines, it means that this is the partiture with other lines written fro other voices and instruments: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partiture[^]. :-)

Input element in HTML is always single line. If does not need to be multiline, just because the textarea element does it. I have no idea why would not using it.
