How to set value for <textarea> tag in HTML?

[Prakash Gnana]

<textarea name="quest" id="quest" value='gggg' rows="10" cols="100"></textarea>

I cannot set the value for textarea. Can you please help me to set value for it?

Pretty sure <textarea> does not have a "value" attribute.
What are you trying to do?

You do it this way:

<textarea name="quest" id="quest" rows="10" cols="100">gggg</textarea>

With the "value" inside the textare-element (between the tags).
