Need Advice About Twitter Clone
Hello, everyone! I need advice! I want to create a Twitter clone using only HTML/CSS/JavaScript. So, I found the HTML markup of the tweet section (in Twitter's UI), and there the tweet input field is implemented using div elements. But isn't the text input supposed to be a textarea? And if yes, shouldn't it be inside a form tag?

Hi @The Internet's own Kiddo! I don't know about the internals of Twitter but maybe they have done it this way to have more control on the styling and the content? Is weird but definitely you can do your clone using a text area (that grows in size as typing...you can do this with JS)
yep, this allows the content to be formatted. for example the color change and autofill for @-mentions and hashtags
