Problem

I want to make an user enter a paragraph in a jsp page, but the problem is, the jsp page only displays a regular size text box , which is too small to enter a paragraph. What i mean is i want to display a large text box in the jsp page so that the user can enter text in to it. For example like this one : How do i make a small text box as big as the above example?
