<g:textArea name="myField" value="myValue" rows="5" cols="40"/>textArea
Purpose
Creates an HTML text area element. An implicit "id" attribute is given the same value as name unless you explicitly specify one. You can specify "rows" and "cols" attributes, but CSS values for width and height on textarea will override these values.
| The standard stylesheet used by the scaffolding defines values for 'width' and 'height' on <textarea> elements, so if you want to customise the sizes yourself you will have to provide CSS overrides. |

disabled, readonly and checked. It may be desirable to have additional attributes
(like required) behave the same way. This can be controlled with the following config value:
