Problem With Textarea

[visitor]

Hi

 

Data is entered directly into the database (phpMyAdmin). When this data then is then looked up on the website, it shows only a part of the first line as the table is too small. The textarea must be dynamic as texts vary in size.

 

Does anyone have a good idea how this problem can be solved best?

<tr>
   <td input type="textarea" class="fieldset"><div class="tbl_lbl">FUND STRATEGY</div>
    <div class="tbl_input">
	 <input size="57" name="fund_strategy" id="fund_strategy"
	  value="<?php echo $arrayFund[0]['fund_strategy']?></textarea>
    </div></td>
  </tr>

 

Thank you

<tr>
<td input type="textarea" class="fieldset"><div class="tbl_lbl">FUND STRATEGY</div>
<div class="tbl_input">
<input size="57" name="fund_strategy" id="fund_strategy"
value="<?php echo $arrayFund[0]['fund_strategy']?></textarea>
</div></td>
</tr>

 

That looks confusing as hell? Shouldn't it be more like this?

 

<tr>
<td class="fieldset">
<div class="tbl_lbl">FUND STRATEGY</div>
<div class="tbl_input">
<textarea size="57" name="fund_strategy" id="fund_strategy">
<?php echo $arrayFund[0]['fund_strategy']?>
</textarea>
</div>
</td>
</tr>

Yes, I know... I am working on it, though. But still, even when I try to increase the textarea, it stays the same. I tried this <textarea width="300px" name="fund_strategy" id="fund_strategy"> and how can I get the text from database inside this textarea field?

So, I finally thought I have found some code to expand the textarea dynamically. But no... anyway, here's the javascript code to this textarea. If someone has got a code that works, please let me know. Thanks

 

<tr>

<td class="fieldset">

<div class="tbl_lbl">FUND STRATEGY</div>

<div class="tbl_input">

<textarea id="fund_strategy" onkeyup="new do_resize(this);" cols="43" rows="1" name="fund_strategy">

<?php echo $arrayFund[0]['fund_strategy']?></textarea>

</textarea>

</div>

</td>

</tr>

 

function do_resize(textbox) {
var maxrows=5;
var txt=textbox.value;
var cols=textbox.cols;
var arraytxt=textbox.split('\n');
var rows=arraytxt.length;
for (i=0;imaxrows)
textbox.rows=maxrows;
else
textbox.rows=rows;
}
