Input Field, wrap text instead of extending horizontally

Question

I have an input field, a user will write text inside but when the text is to long it just extends horizontally instead of dropping down vertically.

I tried: overflow: hidden; word-wrap: break-word;

and I had no luck. Any other suggestions on how to accomplish this?

I think you should use a multiline input field as TextArea:

Sample code:

<textarea rows="10" cols="30"></textarea>
