Johnain Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hi I am using XHTML (T). I am successfully retrieveing data from a MySQL database field of type Text. I want to show it in a form so a user can edit it and then I can save it back to my table. However I can only see two tab types that might be relevant. 1. <input> that lets me assign an initial value but will not allow me to specify columns or rows. 2. <textbox> That will give me rows, columns and scrolling - but will not let me assign an initial value. Am I missing something? Is there a simple solution? Regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnain Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 <textarea>Data goes here</textarea> Thanks Haku, I really appreciate that. By the way, in case you are wondering whether I feel a complete plonker, the answer is yes. I do. Talk about the obvious. But thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
