What is the equivalent of HTML'S input tag in Rails?

I want to be able to generate this 

<input id="address" type="textarea" value="Write your Address here.">

Using some ruby form helpers.

Any hints ?

Solution

  • I assume you meant textarea since there is no such thing as textbox.

    if it's not tied to a field in your model

    http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper/text_area

    if it is.
