gentelella bootstrap template - textarea

Question

Anybody used gentelella admin template before (https://github.com/puikinsh/gentelella) ? I am trying to use the textarea from this template https://colorlib.com/polygon/gentelella/form.html but it dosen't allow me to save data to database. Contents will be inside the div and the textarea is hidden.

Textarea code will be look like this.

<div class="x_content">
<div id="alerts"></div>
<div class="btn-toolbar editor" data-role="editor-toolbar" data-target="#editor-one">
    <div class="btn-group">

        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        </ul>
    </div>

                <a data-edit="fontSize 5">
                    <p style="font-size:17px">Huge</p>
                </a>
            </li>
            <li>
                <a data-edit="fontSize 3">
                    <p style="font-size:14px">Normal</p>
                </a>
            </li>
            <li>

    </div>

    <div class="btn-group">
        <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" title="Hyperlink"><i class="fa fa-link"></i></a>
        <div class="dropdown-menu input-append">
            <input class="span2" placeholder="URL" type="text" data-edit="createLink" />

    </div>

    <div class="btn-group">
        <a class="btn" title="Insert picture (or just drag & drop)" id="pictureBtn"><i class="fa fa-picture-o"></i></a>
        <input type="file" data-role="magic-overlay" data-target="#pictureBtn" data-edit="insertImage" />
    </div>

    <div class="btn-group">
        <a class="btn" data-edit="undo" title="Undo (Ctrl/Cmd+Z)"><i class="fa fa-undo"></i></a>
        <a class="btn" data-edit="redo" title="Redo (Ctrl/Cmd+Y)"><i class="fa fa-repeat"></i></a>
    </div>
</div>

<div id="editor-one" class="editor-wrapper"></div>

<textarea name="descr" id="descr" style="display:none;"></textarea>

I can able to use all those features of toolbars and can edit contents. But i couldn't save to database.

Is there any mistake in implementation? Any suggestion?

you should put textarea into a form tag like this:

<form id='myform'>
    <textarea id='mytext'></textarea>
</form>

you could set form attribute too: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_textarea.asp

be aware of your database attribute, a textarea can hold an unlimited number of characters..
