Textarea problem

[Limit]

i have made a textarea box in my form but when i press enter, it is not displayed as going onto the next line so i have to put in <br/> into my textarea in order to make it go onto another line.

Is there anyway i can fix this?

<input type="text"> or <textarea>? Because a plain <textarea></textarea> should behave as you expect.

Can you show us the code you are using?

[code:1:ecc1ce5337]<textarea id=text rows=11 cols=80 name=description><?php echo $edit?$post['description']:''; ?></textarea>[/code:1:ecc1ce5337]


thats it what basically happens is that it gets put into a mysql database and then it is taken out of the database and displayed on another page.

<textarea is just something like p.. id doesnt automatically insert brs.. i dont think anything does actually..

Try this:

<textarea id=text wrap="virtual" rows=11 cols=80 name=description><?php echo $edit?$post['description']:''; ?></textarea>

That should make it wrap on the page but not wrap when it's submitted. If you want it to wrap in both instances, I believe that wrap="physical" would do that.

That didn't work but ignore this topic now as i have fixed it myself the problem was in the php page that recalled what was in the database all solved now. :wink:
