Question: When click middle position of the HTML textarea tag , it automatic takes 4 space. I want,dont take any space in textarea.

```html
    <textarea rows="2" cols="40" name="chief_complaints" class="form-control"   value="">
    </textarea>
```

How to solve this problem?

Answer: 
According to the standard, the `textarea` element does not support the `value` attribute, instead of that everything between `<textarea>` and `</textarea>` belongs to the value of the text area. To get rid of any spaces and newlines you have to write `<textarea></textarea>` without anything between the start and the end tag.
`<textarea>[DON NOT USE BREAK LINES AND SPACES HERE, LET IT BE BLANK]</textarea>`

For example:

`<textarea rows="2" cols="10">Your Content</textarea>`
