TextArea Input

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,

I encountered a funny case where I tried to assign a value into the <textarea>. It does not start at the position 0, it has few indentations of TABs where I cannot figure out where that come from.

Anyone has any idea?

It hows like this (with 2 TABs):-
+————————–+
|(TA?(TA? User name

|

+————————–+

What I really like is to have this:-
+————————–+
|User name

|

+————————–+

Regards,
Jack Kee

<textarea rows=24 cols=35 name=userList>

<%

sql="select distinct Username from Users where Migration='"&varValue&"'"

rs.open sql, conn, 0, 1

if rs.eof then

else

rs.movefirst

counter=1

do while not rs.eof

varUsername = trim(rs("Username"))

if varUsername <> "" then

response.write chr(13) & chr(10) & varUsername end if

counter=counter + 1

rs.movenext

loop

rs.close

end if

%>

</textarea>

It should extract the names from the SQL database and write to the textarea line by line. The problem is it will first write 2 TABs on the first line, and one TAB on the last line. I have no idea why this happen...

Thanks.

Success!
