TextArea is a very simple TEXTAREA widget, but it dynamically resizes to fit the content of the text inside. It takes nearly all the parameters (name, value, etc.) that a vanilla TEXTAREA takes. The attribute rows is not supported since this widget adjusts the height.

Constructor Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
baseClass	String	mblTextArea mblExpandingTextArea	Default CSS class names used to render the TEXTAREA.
class	String		Additional CSS class names to add to baseClass.
value	String		Initial value of the editable text. If omitted, then the TEXTAREA’s innerHTML is used.
maxLength	Number		Maximum number of characters that can be entered in the TEXTAREA (requires browser support).
placeHolder	String		Prompt text to display inside the TEXTAREA when it would otherwise be empty (requires browser support).
onChange	Function		An event handler used for TEXTAREA value change notifications.
