send data in a form using div !

[lofaifa]

..and its not working (i replaced <textarea> with <div> to apply some html tags inside it )

 

and this is my form :

 

<form action="proc.php" method="post">
<div id="text" name="question_text" class="text" contenteditable="true"></div>
</form>

 

but when i submit some text the $_POST['question_text'] is not set !

this actually made me laugh.

That is not how it works.

Inputs are used to send form data, not divs.

textarea can send data also ..

 

anyway im having the problem of making changes inside textarea .. i couldnt do that cuz textarea considers everything a test

 

so if i write something like this

 

<textarea><b>test</b></texterea>

 

it wont work , it will display <b>test</b>

 

soo i need something like textarea that let html tags work !

 

any advice ?

where do you want "test" to become bold? immediately after the <b> tags are written, within the textarea? it's not clear what you are trying to do

this is because a textarea accepts text as plain/text instead of html.

There are ways to convert the text in a textarea to html, what exactly are you trying to do?

its related to javascript in fact .

 

i want two button .. if you click on one the direction of writing inside the textarea changes .. and when u finished with writing in the current direction and u wanna go back to the normal direction u click and u go back

 

<textarea dir="rtl"></textarea>

 

is the normal

 

and when u click a div tag with direction "ltr" or something appears to do the job . when u click the other button u get out of that tag to the normal case .
