okrobie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hello, this line retrieves information from the database and allows me to edit it and save it and it works great so far. But now I need it to be a textarea. I tried a straight conversion but it replaced the database data with, "value=undefined". I read somewhere that "value" is not allowed in a textarea. Can someone please help me? Thanks, okrobie Teacher: <input name="teacher<?php echo $rrows['id']; ?>" id="teacher<?php echo $rrows['id']; ?>" type="text" size="10" value="<?php echo $rrows['teacher']; ?>" > Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/209881-convert-an-input-into-a-textarea/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

okrobie Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Thanks pbs, but my problem goes deeper than that. Thanks isedeasy, that looks like it should work but it doesn't retrieve the data from the database and displays "undefined" instead. It also won't allow me to edit or save from that textbox. Please see if you can see what is wrong.

anbu2020 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 You MUST deactivate the HTML code by making it appear as text in whichever box you use. The code I show below WILL work as it's been tested. To have active code to be clickable inside the scroll box, you MUST use a div type scroll box and not one using the "textarea" tags. Change all the opening tag symbols, "<", to the character entity, & lt ; (without spaces) as & lt ; (without spaces) = <. This will deactivate the HTML code in the textarea/scroll box, but allow users viewing the page to copy/paste the code. Example: & lt;img style="width: XXpx; width: YYpx; border: 0; src"pic link" alt="Text Description" /&' gt; &' lt; without spaces = < and &' gt; without spaces = > Example: <textarea style="background: transparent;" rows="8" cols="70"> & lt;img style="width: XXpx; width: YYpx; border: 0; src"pic link" alt="Text Description"> </textarea> There is no closing tag for the image tag unless you are using an XHTML DocType then the image tag is closed with a space and a "/": Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/209881-convert-an-input-into-a-textarea/#findComment-1106723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
