Hidden TextArea - html

Anyone help me please,

Set CSS display to none for textarea
<textarea name="hide" style="display:none;"></textarea>

An <input type=hidden> element is not a hidden input box. It is simply a form field that has a value set via markup or via scripting, not via user input. You can use it for multi-line data too, e.g.
<input type=hidden name=stuff value=
"Hello
world, how
are you?">
If the value contains the Ascii quotation mark ("), then, as for any HTML attribute, you need to use Ascii apostrophes (') as attribute value delimites or escape the quote as ", e.g.
<input type=hidden name=stuff value="A "funny" example">

but is the css style tag the correct way to get cross browser compatibility?
<textarea style="display:none;" ></textarea>
or
what I learned long ago....
<textarea hidden ></textarea>
or
the global hidden element method:
<textarea hidden="hidden" ></textarea>

<textarea name="hide" style="display:none;"></textarea>
This sets the css display property to none, which prevents the browser from rendering the textarea.

use
textarea{
visibility:hidden;
}

In html textarea tag automatic takes 4 spaces

When click middle position of the HTML textarea tag , it automatic takes 4 space. I want,dont take any space in textarea.
<textarea rows="2" cols="40" name="chief_complaints" class="form-control" value="">
</textarea>
How to solve this problem?
According to the standard, the textarea element does not support the value attribute, instead of that everything between <textarea> and </textarea> belongs to the value of the text area. To get rid of any spaces and newlines you have to write <textarea></textarea> without anything between the start and the end tag.
<textarea>[DON NOT USE BREAK LINES AND SPACES HERE, LET IT BE BLANK]</textarea>
For example:
<textarea rows="2" cols="10">Your Content</textarea>

Have you taken a look at the attribute minlength? As of setting the attribut minlength="30" to the textarea.
<textarea name="textarea" id="description" value="" placeholder="Beskrivelse" required="required" minlength="30" title="30 characters minimum"></textarea>

how to Hide list default in input html?

How do I remove the default list of input
see in images:
html INPUT TEXT remove browser default dropdown
<input name="serch" type="text" />
That's coming from the browser cache. If the browser is compliant, autocomplete="off" should work:
<input type="text" name="name" autocomplete="off" />
Use autocomplete="off as an attribute and value for the relevant input element, in order to prevent the suggestions from being presented.

how to make a textbox non clickable using html

I want to make textarea non-editable and non-clickable using html.
I have given the "readonly=true" for the tags; however, it is still clickable but non-editable. The readonly textarea are getting selected in Safari browser. Please help. I do not want the text area and text box to get selected.
Thanks
Using readonly attribute on element means that the element is not editable, however the value of field gets submitted when the form is submitted.
While disabled element is not editable as readonly but its value doesn't get submitted on form submission.
so, if you want to submit the value of the field, use:
<input type="text" name="textbox1" readonly />
else
<input type="text" name="textbox1" disabled="disabled" />
Try disabled="disabled". This will disable textbox / textarea, so it won't be selected. Also, the value won't be submitted on form submission.
For textbox :
<input type="text" name="textbox1" disabled="disabled" />
For textarea :
<textarea name="textarea1" disabled="disabled" /></textarea>
In HTML5, only disabled attribute will also work. The value is not compulsory. However, for XHTML Strict you will need key & value pair.
<textarea disabled="disabled"></textarea>
Try this i hope it works,
<input type="text" name="country" value="anytext" readonly>
Why don't you try with
disabled="disabled"

Is there a way for me to make an <input> field non-editable

I have some fields that are currently input fields. Some should allow edits and others not. Without changing them from input fields, is there a simple way to make it so I cannot edit these? I'm looking for just one CSS or other kind of property if that exists.
thanks

You can add the readonly="readonly" attribute to the input elements.
Or disabled: <input disabled>
You can style both with CSS:
input:disabled or input[disabled] for disabled
input[readonly] for readonly
<input type="text" id="id" name="id" value="" readonly="readonly" />
either
<textarea ... readonly="readonly"></textarea>
and/or :
<textarea ... disabled="true"></textarea>
I prefer readonly -attribute, which just prevents modifying. Disabled attribute makes the whole area look disabled (grey) and disabled textarea's data isn't submitted, when a form is posted.
