  • I have a simple HTML contact form and I wish to create a text area in it with `<input type="text">` but without a <textarea> tag.
  • The end product should be an `<input type="text">` field which by the help of CSS, be styled pretty much with the same default style of a <textarea> element.
  • Are there any accessibility standards (such as _minimum height_ or _minimal character allowance_, etc.) for such a field?

Accessibility standard/s for multilined <input type="text"> fields
I have a simple HTML contact form and I wish to create a text area in it with `<input type="text">` but without a <textarea> tag.

The end product should be an `<input type="text">` field which by the help of CSS, be styled pretty much with the same default style of a <textarea> element.

Are there any accessibility standards (such as _minimum height_ or _minimal character allowance_, etc.) for such a field?
