HTML - Unknown Space In <textarea> Element
Hello there,
I have a textarea in a form, and when I load the page with the form, there is a space in the textarea. When I enter content into the form and submit, when the validation does not kick through and the form is displayed once more, there is an additional space introduced. Each time the form reloads one more space is introduced. Has anyone ever come across this weird situation? Thanks Similar TutorialsPlease view http://www.sergemedia.net/wiltoncordrey2010/wood.html You will see space under top links. Above decorative border. Try other 2 links at top. The extra space is not there. I am looking for an extra line break in my code, but can't find it, or what is causing the extra space. I am testing on Safari. Will look on IE later. Thanks. I was recently asked to take on a project for a photographer friend of mine to complete a website that has begun by a really bad company, so now I'm looking at the mess they've created and trying to figure it all out. Looks like im going to start from scratch anyways.. but I cam accross one thing that I am curious about: Code: <img src="http://duendeart.com/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=duend1.dat|display=Counter|ft=0|md=5|dd=D|tr=y|prgb=255;0;0;"> All the other stuff in the code is HTML code, and so is this, but I've never seen this kind of elements or attributes after the file extension before. It appears as a gradient animation, but I don't know how it's built. There is no other java script or anything, just this piece of code. Any help in reverse engineering this would be appreciated!

I have an area at the top of my webpage where I'm trying to just add a small iframe that will contain a link to a related website. What happened when I added this in what I thought was the right place, is that it appeared in place of where other content was supposed to be. I then tried to contain the problem by creating a table, and given that each of the two existing pieces of content were in div blocks, I put each div block within a table data element (td). Unfortunately, even with specified column widths, the best of the results I've achieved results in my site search content having the button get pushed onto a new line and thus almost invisible, leaving the text input box in place. It's as if the PHP stuff in that div block is somehow pushing the browser to considerably widen the first cell unless I restrict it's width. The site you can see this on is: http://debtfreenewsblog.com The site is somewhat slow - takes 30 to 45 seconds to load (a separate issue, but if you happen to see why, let me know), but once it does, you can use view source and see the very first table and you'll see the resulting HTML. Dreamweaver's design view doesn't do anything to indicate why there's a problem, and kind of hides reality from me. There is a style sheet, or perhaps even more than one, for the site, and as I'm not familiar with exactly how that works together with everything else, that may well be where the problem is. Any and all help will be appreciated. My objective is to just get the search button to come back to the same line as the text input box. Steve (aka sgmunson) i almost went crazy trying to troubleshoot this one... thought i'd share. HTML Code: <style type=text/css> a:link {font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px;} </style> <table width="200" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr> <td width="100" valign="top"> <a href="link">Sample text </a> <td width="100" valign="top"> <a href="link">Sample text</a> </td></tr></table> Turns out a "space" at the end of the link text pushes the text upwards slightly. Simply remove the space (or add on to the other line) or use the space code [ ] The css also plays a part, this doesn't appear happen when text is "unformatted" How can I limit the rows inside a textarea? Im not talking about limiting the visible row. Example I want to have 99 columns and 20 rows only, how can do that? Hello! I'm having a lot of trouble here. I have a form on my website that is linked to my 1shoppingcart account. Unfortunately, the feild for their personalized message is only a single line because it uses the <input> tag instead of the <textarea> tag. But when I use the text area tag instead, I get something that is completely wrong. I'm assuming that it has to do with all of the other 1shoppingcart code that is jumbled in there. Here is the code for the table: <form name="form1" method="post" action="https://www.mcssl.com/app/contactsave.asp"> <input name="merchantid" type="hidden" id="merchantid" value="166866"> <input name="ARThankyouURL" type="hidden" id="ARThankyouURL" value="www.1shoppingcart.com/app/thankyou.asp?ID=166866"> <input name="copyarresponse" type="hidden" id="copyarresponse" value="1"> <input name="custom" type="hidden" id="custom" value="1"> <input name="defaultar" type="hidden" id="defaultar" value="0"> <input name="allowmulti" type="hidden" id="allowmulti" value="0"> <input name="visiblefields" type="hidden" id="visiblefields" value="Name,Email1,Company,Workphone"> <input name="requiredfields" type="hidden" id="requiredfields" value="Name,Email1"> <table width="500"> <tr> <td>Name</td> <td><input name="Name" type="text" size="40"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Company</td> <td><input name="Company" type="text" size="40"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email</td> <td><input name="Email1" type="text" size="40"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Phone</td> <td><input name="Workphone" type="text" size="40"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>How Did You Hear About Us?</td> <td><input type="hidden" name="fieldname1" value="field1"> <input type="hidden" name="required1" value="1"> <input name="field1" type="text" size="40"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Message</td> <td><input type="hidden" name="fieldname2" value="field2"> <input type="hidden" name="required2" value="1"> <input name="field2" type="text" size="40"></td> </tr> <tr align="right"> <td colspan="2"> <input type="Submit" name="cmdSubmit" value="Submit"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> I would appreciate any help that you can give! The page that hosts this form is www.36hoursinaday.com/contact-us. Thanks so much! I have these 2 textboxes i want one aligned left and one aligned center. Both of them i want to be next to eachother. How do i do this without a table code? I am trying to build a simple contact form using tables, textfields, lables and textareas. The textfields are ok in both IE and FF but the textarea is bigger in IE than in FF and also the textareas in both are stil out of position to the textfields. This is pretty basic i guess, maybe not. I realise there are differences in formatting in IE and firefox but. So if i.... 1) Insert a form tag 2) Insert a table 3 rows x 2 cols in the form tag (name, email and message) 4) Add a lable in the DW designer to attach to each text field/area then the result looks like this in FF, and this in IE, also i just noticed that the font is a slightly different size and font in both as well, here is my code, this is all the code i am using, HTML Code: <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <table width="39%" border="0"> <tr> <td width="20%"><label for="email">Email:</label></td> <td width="80%"><input name="email" type="text" id="email" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="name">Name:</label></td> <td><input name="name" type="text" id="name" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="message">Message:</label></td> <td><textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea></td> </tr> </table> </form> any ideas??? Also i realise you can change the size of the textarea but i don't really see the relationship here with respect to the size of the textfield. Helo! I want to output the data from the database table into my textarea in html/php. I want to align output as it is in database. This is my echo which outputs in textarea. echo "$id |$way | $date | $price | $lenght " . "\n"; Because of different lenghts of data in database, output in textarea is mixed and opaque. So, please tell me how can I "align" this output from database in textbox so it will be inline. Thanks for help! Hi, I've searched for sometime on this issue but no luck. I've two forms on my html page (say form1 and form2). Both the forms have one text area each (say textarea1 and textarea2). form1 also has a button on clicking which the contents of textarea2 are copied into textarea1. Everything seems so smooth till here. But the real hurdle starts here. Actually, I have an xml in textarea2. This xml has few elements with special characters like "&" and "<" Now when the button on the form1 is clicked the contents are copied into textarea1 and this is passed as a parameter to the servlet which tries to display it in a browser. But the textarea1 is converting all & and < to & and < and thus making it an invalid xml. I would like the special characters to stay the same as they are in textarea2. Any workaround for this? Option2: I even would like to know if there's a way to submit form2 when a button in form1 is clicked. Is it possible? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks. hiii. im having this difficulty on how to remove the <br> in the textarea when its not supposed to be there. for example... originally html code in the editor: <textarea style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 12px; padding: 2; background-color: transparent;" style="overflow:auto;"> Name: Email: </textarea> then once i insert that codes in the html editor and checked the preview. the results is this within the textarea: <br>Name: <br>Email: so, how do i get rid of those <br> in the textarea? im using the uni.cc domain name with the sitebuilder, by the way. not the paid domain. I've been searching for this answer and I just can't get my head wrapped around some the posts that I have read. I have a textarea with this text: aaaa bbbb cccc dddd But when I write this data to a file it writes out like this: aaaabbbbccccdddd I've tried doing this but it doesn't work: PHP Code: $php_string0 = str_replace("<br>","\n", $php_filedata); Thanks for any help...!!! Hey guys! I am just starting a little thing to open, edit, and display HTML stored in txt files. It works fine until I tried to make it so that when you first open the form it already has the txt file's content inside the textarea (to edit it). Obviously it just displays the raw code! I am wondering if there is a way around this. here is my code; Code: <html> <body> <form action="write.php" method="post"> Content: <br><br> <textarea cols="40" rows="5" name="texttest"> <?php $file = file_get_contents ('text.txt'); Echo $file; ?> </textarea> <br> <INPUT type="submit" name="button1" value="Update"> </form> </body> </html> Any help would be awesome! Hi, I have a textarea, but I can't put HTML in it. Because when I try it will look different. This is what it put in, in the textarea : HTML Code: <a href="/">Link</a> And when I save/submit, it will look like this Code: <a href=\"/\">Link</a> But maybe it's the cause of the "CMS" is use ( Wordpress ) Steven I'm sure this has been done before, but unfortunately im under the pump somewhat! How do I get a drop down menu to post things to a textarea in html? As in when I select an item from a drop down menu how do i get this selection to show relevant information in a text area below.. TruskyMX Please help Im sure there is post already just haven't looked yet. Is there a way to set it so there is a limit to how much text u can input in to a text area.. I know of one way. but i want it to also display under how many letter's you can enter. so say for example i entered.. 10 letters it will say You have got 240 letters left etc.. each time u enter a letter it drops down. anyone know of a way to do this? Hi Hope someone can help. I am new to HTML and i am a bit stuck. I have written a Java script to populate a text box with the contents of a directory and what I want to do is to display a gif or picture whilst the data is getting retrieved. My code is (it is in a grid) <TD><textarea name="files" cols="50" rows="20">test</textarea></TD> What I want is to have the box show a pic as default until the script loads the data. Thanks Paul My html form contains a textarea that submits to a Java servlet. When the textarea content includes an ampersand (&), the servlet is treating what comes after the & as a separate parameter. How can I overcome this? Thanks, James |
