how to change input type=\"text\" to \"textarea\"?

[mountpku]

I want to input more sentences with more paragraphs. and when I change the input type from "text" to "textarea" in the file /themes/default/chat.html.tpl.php, the result is Only the first paragraph is displayed in "My room".
the input type "text" only keep one paragraph.
is anyone has the idea to do it?

thanks a lot.

"textarea" can hold many paragraphs, when you input words, but only the first paragraph can be shown.
input type "text" can only hold one paragraph, when you type words.
