Solution 1

For that, you should change the properties of textbox. The textarea contains properties cols & rows, change those values.

HTML <textarea> Tag</textarea>[^]

Also you can change the width & height values by CSS.

EDIT
---------------------------------------
Oh dude, If you are using ASP.NET then you can use Textbox with Textmode=Multiline, Height & Width

For your doubt regarding add textbox in Gridview, look at these

Thank you very much for your suggestion. How would I place an ASP Gridview in the <Textarea> to show the results? When placing in the <Textarea> it shows the code of the Gridview.

Thanks again....

Thanks again for the help....
I can make the ASP Gridview scroll using:
<div style="width:100%; height:150px; overflow:auto;"><br />
When I email the source code of my newsletter to a Gmail email account the scroll is disregarded and all rows in the Gridview are shown making the newsletter extremely long. I want the Gmail email recipient to scroll through several lines at a time. BTW, Yahoo email will show the scroll box. The textarea suggestion works with Gmail but I have not been able to include a Gridview table within the textarea.
You continued help is appreciated!!

I think that is not supported(also some other features too) by gmail(Also I tried long back.).
Anyway check my updated answer for more links regarding this. If I find anything related this then I'll let you know. Please you do the same(because it will be helpful for others). Thank you.
