Changing height of input element doesn't let me enter text block

Question

Given the tag

<input type = "text">

I want to increase the height of that element so users can type a lot more.

However, when I change the height of the input, the text still appears in the middle and doesn't go top left to bottom right (the standard way text goes). How do I solve this issue?

Input tag is for single line text input. – clearlight Jan 15 '17 at 03:50 — clearlight, Jan 15 '17 at 03:50

An input will only be one line high. What you're looking for is a textarea.

textarea {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
}

<textarea></textarea>
