Depends on the HTML used; this is really a HTML question more than a DTML
question.

If this is a textarea, make sure there are no spaces between the opening
and closing tags:

  <textarea ..attrs..></textarea>

or, if you fill the textarea from with a dtml attribute, eliminate the
spaces there too:

  <textarea ..attrs..>&dtml-variablename;</textarea>
  
If you need multiple lines to avoid excessive wrapping or scrolling, put
the angle brackets on a new line to eliminate whitespace (newlines are
whitespace too!):

  <textarea ..attrs..
   ><dtml-var expression_or_variable ..attrs..
   ></textarea>

If you used an input tag, the same applies, but now to whitespace between
the quotes of the value attribute.
