soma56 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 So, I have a css box that I styled around my results: <html> <head> <title>My Cool Box</title> <style> div.customScroll {position:absolute; text-align:right; top:60px; overflow:auto; margin-left:480px; width:350px; height:220px; border:2px lightblue solid!important; } </style> </head> <body> <?PHP echo "<div class=\"customScroll\">"; echo "this"; echo "<br />"; echo "that"; echo "</div>"; ?> </body> </html> My first question is, how do I grab the results? If this was a <textarea> I could simply add a "name" to it and grab the results...like this one: <html> <head> <title>My Other Cool Box</title> </head> <body> <?PHP echo "<textarea cols=\"20\" rows=\"5\" name=\"mybox\">"; echo "this"; echo "<br />"; echo "that"; echo "</textarea>"; ?> </body> </html> However the problem with this one is that the "<br />" tag is shown within the box and not recognized as an html tag?

soma56 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks, my problem with <textarea> is that I have a foreach that takes about 20 seconds to load. While it's loading the <textarea> box does not show at all. It only shows when php has finished doing it's thing. I tried placing the <textarea> code as the first thing after my <body> tag however this didn't change anything. Is this common? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kratsg Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 So, it "doesn't" have to be a form element for you to grab results. In fact, something like this could work: <input type="submit" onclick="window.location = 'http://www.somewebsite.com/somescript.php?variable='+escape(document.getElementById('yourDiv').value);" /> Which is merely JavaScript. It auto-redirects the page to a new page with the url and appends the escaped values (see urlencode) to the end of the URL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
