p2grace Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Try this: <?php if ($_POST['Description']=="") { $valid=0; $style_name = "background-color:#FF5959"; $error_description = "Your description seems to be mising?<br>"; } ?> <div class="editRightBox"> <div class="editRightText">Description:</div> <div class="editRightForm"> <textarea type="text" class="itemEditForm03" name="Description" > <font color="#FF0000" style="font-size: 8pt"><?php echo $error_description; ?></font> <?php echo $row['Description'];?> </textarea> <div class="clr"> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/97530-error-message-to-appear-inside-textbox-instead-of-outside/#findComment-499012 Share on other sites More sharing options...

p2grace Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 yeah you'll have to remove the html around it. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/97530-error-message-to-appear-inside-textbox-instead-of-outside/#findComment-499026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebyrne Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 I've tried the below but it doesnt work <div class="editRightBox"> <div class="editRightText">Description:</div> <div class="editRightForm"> <textarea type="text" class="itemEditForm03" name="Description" > font color="#FF0000" style="font-size: 8pt<?php echo $error_description; ?> <?php echo $row['Description'];?> </textarea> <div class="clr"> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/97530-error-message-to-appear-inside-textbox-instead-of-outside/#findComment-499034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqlnoob Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 does it really have to be a textarea? Is the description that long? or could it fit inside a textfield?

mikebyrne Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Yeah the descriptions are very long so Im stuck with textarea Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/97530-error-message-to-appear-inside-textbox-instead-of-outside/#findComment-499043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqlnoob Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 OK I see but why do you really want it in an textarea. Does it come with a form so that the person sends it to somewhere? else it wouldn't make sense, you'd just echo it if you didn't need it in a form Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/97530-error-message-to-appear-inside-textbox-instead-of-outside/#findComment-499050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebyrne Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Yeah the complete code is below: Its more the way the error appears is the problem. At present the error report starts with Your (just outside the textarea) and description seems to be missing appears underneath I was just wondering if it was possible to have the error appear in the start of the texbox to tidy things up <?PHP require_once("adminconnect.php"); $ProductNo = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['ProductNo'])); $ProductName = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['ProductName'])); $Description = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['Description'])); $Price = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['Price'])); $Stockamount = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['Stockamount'])); $Type = $_POST['Type']; $Display = strtoupper($_POST['display']); $tbl_name="product"; if($_POST["action"] == "Add"){ $valid=1; if ($_POST['Type'] =="") { $valid=0; $style_name = "background-color:#FF5959"; $error_type = "Please enter the product type<br>"; } if ($_POST['ProductName']=="") { $valid=0; $style_name = "background-color:#FF5959"; $error_name = "The Product Name seems to be mising?<br>"; } if ($_POST['Description']=="") { $valid=0; $style_name = "background-color:#FF5959"; $error_description = "Your
