It's not <input type="textarea">,

it's <textarea name="" id=""></textarea>

And \n is only for JavaScript, not textarea or input type="text". If you just hit ENTER, the line breaks will be there (if you are typing in the textarea); if you're trying to SET the value of the textarea with line breaks, I think (I've never tried this, before) that you use the ANSI code for those.
