Writing data to textarea control

[ksmatthews]

Hi All,

 

I am having problems writing to the textarea HTML object. Basically I am losing my new line char

and the text looks awful and unintelligible.

 

How can I get my new lines appended at the end so that each line is separate.

 

Here is some code ...

 

Creating EACH data line:

 

$arrCsvRow = array(

$arrTags['DATE_UPLOADED'],

$arrTags['SCAN_NUMBER'],

$arrTags['OPERATOR'],

$arrTags['REFERENCE'],

$arrTags['CURRENCY'],

$arrTags['GOODS'],

$arrTags['VAT'],

$arrTags['TOTAL'],

$arrTags['PAID_TITLE']

);

$arrCsv[] = implode(',', $arrCsvRow);

 

etc ....  

 

Dumping it all at the end ...

 

$arrTags['CSV_OUTPUT'] = implode("\n", $arrCsv);

 

Note: $arrTags['CSV_OUTPUT'] is added to  a text area control WITHIN a template

 

Any advice appreciated,

 

regards,

WHY ? Is this a CSS issue ?

Can we see the code that you have for that specific bit please?

[ksmatthews]

$arrTags['CSV_OUTPUT'] = implode("\n", $arrCsv);

 

Note: $arrTags['CSV_OUTPUT'] is added to  a text area control WITHIN a template

 

I HAVE EVEN TRIED EXPLICITLY ADDING A '\n' BUT TO NO AVAIL ....

Are you using a template engine? Can you show the code where you actually output the data?

[ksmatthews]

<div class="dataContent" id="content_csvOutput_statement">

<textarea class="csvOutput">{CSV_OUTPUT}</textarea>

</div>

Well then I'm guessing it has something to do with the template engine. Which are you using?
