HTML - Xml In Textarea Gets Invalid
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. Similar TutorialsHi all savvy HTML Experts! I thought I might be able to find here some nice help from the community! I have an FBML page. I want to have a TextArea box according to the Browser. If IE ---> Use TextArea_A Else ( all the rest FF ofcurse and the smaller once ) ---> Use TextArea_B You got the point what I'm trying to achieve right?! different textarea box according to the browser.. So does anyone know a way around this ? Thanks A TON in advance! So this has been driving me crazy....I can't seem to figure out what is wrong with this HTML code. The W3 validator seems to think that I don't have a <head> element but it's there, so I don't get it. See here for the W3 report or view the original page here (note: this page has a meta and JavaScript redirect after 20 seconds). I should also note that this is not a dynamically generated page, it is "raw" HTML, if you want to call it that. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! -- Dan P.S. Not anything high on the priority list, as the page does seem to work as intended in all tested browsers (IE7/8, FF3, Opera 9, and Safari 3), it's just more of a curiosity and trying to do better next time thing.

Matt There is an ivalid page on www.google.com and it directs me back to the home page. Why is that? Hi, I have a website who can enter html code for product descriptions with my text editor. My problem is when user entered invalid html code, (not closed tables or divs etc) my layout distorted. I will try to change text editor but the other problem is i have lots of records, so i can't repeair invalid htmls on my database. So how can i isolate user html code from to my html? I don't want to use iframe. Any ideas? Thank you. This might sound pretty lame and stupid for you guys, but I'm a total beginner here and have a deadline that's coming in fast. There's no time for tutorials and so on so here goes: I've implemented a simple search field in my companies website with this: Code: <form name="form" action="http://www.idlena.lt/?section=naujienos&sub=naujienos4&lang=lt" method="get"> <input type="text" name="section=naujienos&sub=naujienos4&lang=lt&q" </> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Rasti" /> </form> Quite short and simple. Right? Wrong... the second link in the code should redirect the inputted text (in the search field) to the actual php script that handles the search with my database. The problem is - that link should redirect to Code: http://www.idlena.lt/?section=naujienos&sub=naujienos4&lang=lt&q=&Submit=Rasti Instead it redirects me in browser to Code: http://www.idlena.lt/?section%3Dnaujienos%26sub%3Dnaujienos4%26lang%3Dlt%26q=&Submit=Rasti and it breakes the url this way. I've read that sometimes ampersand has to be written with & in the code, I've done that. Doesn't make a difference. And what is even more strange - why doesn't the equal (=) sign show up as it should? This is just too frustrating. As a total beginner I understand that the explanation or the fix could be very simple but I just can't figure this out. Maybe there's an error in my code? Maybe I'm typing the url wrong? The main question remains - why don't ampersands and "=" signs show up as they should? Tried using the & , &amp; , %26 in the code but nothing helped. Firefox 3.0.5 and IE 8 show up a broken link with "&" shown as "%26" and "=" with "%3D". I'm using Eclipse as my IDE, and getting a warning from it's XHTML validator saying: Invalid location of tag (br). The code is as follows: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <title>Animation Master</title> </head> <body style="font-family: sans-serif"> <h1>Testing</h1> <br /> <br /> <br /> <p>Blah blah</p> </body> </html> It happens at each <br /> tag, so I'm getting the warning three times. Why is this? 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? 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 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. 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?

Thanks Paul 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! 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! 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? 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? 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. |
