can't post values in laravel

Hi I'm new to laravel and I create a form then when I tried to post values with textarea it didn't work and this is my code for textarea:

<textarea type="text" rows="10" cols="100" name="contents" 
class="form-control" id="message" style="resize:none"></textarea>

but it works when I use input instead of textarea! How can I solve it?
