This is best accomplished with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
In your textarea tag, change it from what you have (which should look something like ) to this:
Where the ellipses represents whatever you've put inside those tags (as the default text or whatever).
You could also do this:
which would prevent a scrollbar from ever showing up.
For more information about the "overflow" property of elements, see http://htmldog.com/reference/cssproperties/overflow/
Note that CSS support varies from browser to browser. There is no standards-compliant attribute that eliminates a scrollbar from a textarea. Please read about the proper usage of CSS and about standards compliance at the links I've provided below.

Set the CSS property "overflow" to "hidden".
You may also want to set the "wrap" HTML attribute to "soft" so the lines wrap at spaces.
