html help

I have a checkbox in html that when checked enables an editor. I want to save the text written in this editor to the db, but il only adds null. Can't figure why. Here's the code

<form name="html_t"><br />&nbsp;HTML Template
&nbsp;<input type="checkbox" name="html" id="html" onchange="show_hide(html);" />
</form>
<div id="div_editor" style="display:none;">
<form name="editor">
    <textarea name="html_content" id="html_content" cols="50" rows="10"></textarea>
        </form>
</div>

and here is the js

function show_hide(chck){
  if(chck.checked==1){
    document.getElementById('div_editor').style.display = "";
  }
  else{
    document.getElementById('div_editor').style.display = "none";
  }
}

You need a submit action for the form pointing to an appropriate script to perform the transaction.

You also do not need two forms in there - just have the one.

I already have a submit form, because besides that textarea I have another one that is not triggered by a checkbox, and I can see that value and add it to the database. I don't know what the problem is.


Thanks,

The problem with two forms is that only one submits -- apparently, not the one with the textarea -- so you'll never be able to get that value unless you play with hidden fields.

Solved the problem, I just embeded the second form in the first one. Thanks for the help!

If that works, it shouldn't... nested forms aren't really valid.
