A problem with input boxes.

[nick.a]

Hello to everyone!

I got this problem - I use this to enter text in, then a script gets the text from it and writes it to a MySQL database - simple right? The issue is even more simple!

How can I make the input box bigger?

I've found some info on <textarea> but it's not working for me - the input type box "author" is working fine, but it's not entering anything from where I'm using <textarea>

Any help on this?

 

<form action="newsproc.php" method="post"> 
             <p style="font-family:arial;color:black;font-size:10px;">author:</p>
                <input type="text" name="author" >
             <p style="font-family:arial;color:black;font-size:10px;">Text:</p>
                <textarea cols="50" rows="4" name="text"></textarea>

You make the textarea larger or smaller by changing the cols and rows.

 

I don't understand "but it's not entering anything from where I'm using <textarea>"

 

Are you having a different problem than changing the size of the box?

I think he means the text from <textarea> is not inserted into the database. Could you post the PHP you use?

<form method="post">

 

<input type="text" name="textbox" size="50" />

 

</form>

 

size is for making a textbox bigger
