Hi,
In my form I am wanting to keep all the entries fro re-display in case the person makes an error and I need to re display the form.

For some reason it doesn’t seem to work for the textarea ?

Is that normal ? How can i get round it ?

my code in the form:

<td class = “cl_props_add_td2” >Description 2: </td>
<td colspan = “5” ><textarea name=”x_desc_lngTX” value=”<?php echo $N_desc_lng ?>”
rows = 4 cols = 43 > </textarea></td>
</tr>

@AdamGundryJan 05.2005 — The <textarea> element doesn't have a value attribute, instead it uses the contents as shown here:

<textarea name="x_desc_lngTX" rows="4" cols="43"><?=$N_desc_lng?></textarea>

@ShrineDesignsJan 05.2005 — textarea does not have an attribute value, intsead, the value of a textarea is the contents between the opening and closing tags, example:[code=php]<textarea id="box" name="box"><?php echo "hello world"; ?></textarea>[/code]
