Paragraph/<br> Tag In TEXTAREA
I am using TEXTAREA as input. While entering texts sometimes I am creating paragraph and save them .But when I retrieve from database it comes without paragraph.
Is there any way we can create paragraph in TEXTAREA?

I have a form with a textarea input. The form then stores the text in a database. I want that text to be written to a web page (not a textarea).
Well if I don't put a <p> in between paragraphs, of course the paragraph breaks don't show up on the web page. How can I make it, so when I hit return in the text area, a paragraph break shows up in the asp page?

how to dispaly text from a text area on a page as page copy (using the replace function)
How do I display this text inside another textarea, holding formatting? All variations of 'what I thought would work' do not.
I am using the following function:
Function DisplayMemo(theText)
DisplayMemo = ""
on error resume next
DisplayMemo = CStr(theText)
if (len(DisplayMemo) > 0) Then
DisplayMemo = Replace(DisplayMemo, vbCrLf, "<br>", 1, -1, 1)
end if
End Function
calling it like:
<textarea cols=119 name=ownSubmitted rows=7>" & DisplayMemo(getInfo(0)) & "</textarea>
NOTE: getInfo(0) is a variable holding my value. Yes the value is there. It is showing the text I want, however the <br>'s are rendered inside the text area?

I've had some excellent help before on this forum and hoping for some more.
This is probably very basicbut I'm kind of muddling along a bit and it's a miracle I got so far.I have a memo text field in a table form and I'm wanting to enter text into it but all a small amount of formatting. Just basic paragraph breaks would be a start. This is kind of following on from a previous post of mine where I was trying to include line breaks. This was the solution.
Code:
<textarea name=whatever WRAP="HARD">

I have a query about ASP with Javascript, I am trying to automate a form whereby when you type in some text in a form and hit the return key on your keyboard the asp/javascript places a <p> html marker in that paragraph space so when you hit the submit button the text is display correctly, i.e. the paragraphs are displayed and the text does not come out in one block. I have created a very simple form and button using ASP/VbScript and it works. For some reason I cannot work out how to do this with ASP/Javascript. This is so when in future all text is sent to a database we do not have to input the <p> markers manually. Obviously there is more to this, like connecting to a database to drag the text off first, but the code I have created is merely for testing purposes first.
here is my ASP/VBScript code below: ...

Is it possible to extract the first paragraph in a mysql text field? my code line to display all text:
<%=replace(Recordset.Fields.Item("article").Value, vbcrlf, "<p>")%>
I want to separate the 1st paragraph (article lead) from the others (article), without having one table for 1st paragraph and a second one for the rest of the text.

I am writing a small database utility to catalog all of my favorite ASM/JS/VBS functions and scripts on an asp page. Everything is going smoothly except for one thing that I can't quite seem to think my way around.
I am using a <textarea> to display the code but some of my scripts have <textarea> tags in them and when the </textarea> tag is entered, it closes my <textarea> and the rest of the code ends up outside of the textarea.
Example: (the code after the middle </textarea> show up outside of the textarea box)
<textarea>
code...code...code...
code...<textarea></textarea>code...
code...code...code...
</textarea>

I am building a small CMS for my son's school. Ideally I want to build the system for them and hand it over so that all updates can be done through web-based forms.
So far so good. However I'm having a problem with fields designed to take multi-paragraph stories or articles. I'm using a text area field on the form which saves the data in a memo field in the database. Teachers would typically cut and paste stories from word documents into the text area field.
However when the data is loaded back into the website from the database all the carriage returns have been removed and the story consists of one long paragraph.

I have an asp page that reads the contents of a database and creates an xml news feed. I have code that strips out the <BR> and <P></P> tags, but it looks one of the databases I'm trying to read from uses only <P> without the closing tag.
So the make a long story short, I can't figure out what to add to my code to strip out these tags (or if that isn't the problem at all!) Code:

I have a scrolling text box where people input a list of information, using the <ENTER> key between lines.
The submit button transfers this information into the Access DB into a memo field.
When I try and pull up the information using Response.Write, all of the line breaks are gone, its just moshed together.
What better way is there to do this so my line breaks are intact?

I have a string of HTML (used for a specific purpose) that I'd like to
use somewhere else but as plain text. Rather than introduce a
specifically created plain text version I'd like to strip the tags code
from the HTML version. This in itself is easy, using a function such
as:
Function HTMLDecode(Expression)
Dim sTemp
sTemp = Expression
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, ">", ">", , , 1)
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, "<", "<", , , 1)
'Repeat for each defined entity
HTMLDecode = sTemp
End Function
However, the difficulty comes when trying keep each paragraph seperate.
For example, the string "this is<p>my name" shows on screen as:
this is
my name
if I use the above function, it strips out the <p> tag and shows the
result on one line:
this is my name
I thought I could use something like:
str = replace(str, "<p>", chr(10))
but that doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help me replace <br> and <p>
tags with something that's recognised as "plain" text but will keep the
paragraphs and new lines formatted correctly??

I have the below mentioned code that I am using to send a simple html email via ASP. Please do let me know how I could modify the code so that the carriage returns are captured and the paragraphs that are entered within the text area are preserved. I do not need any fancy hmtl formatting - just the paragraphs. Code:

I've written several scenarios where the end user needs to enter data into a textarea (descriptions, messges etc) which becomes part of a form. End users often put apostrophe's and carrige returns in the textarea... however, when the code i write is submitted to the database, it generates an sql command from the page that sent the action.
Client Side:
<form action="somepage.asp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="emailaddress">
<textarea cols="20" rows="5" name="comments"></textarea>
</form>
On code submission...
sql="insert into tableName (email,comments) values ('" & request.form("emailaddress") & "','" & request.form("comments") & "');"
db.execute(sql)
Now, when strange people put carrige returns, it stuffs up the string and therefore produces an error, and to make matters worse if it did recognise a carrige return, it wouldn't be displayed on HTML output. Apostrophes are even worse - they signify the end of a variable in the SQL sentance Can anyone help me and figure out a new way of writing to the DB?

I've got a page on a website I'm developing that contains a textarea.
The textarea will allow users of the site to enter a description of an
item.
When they submit the form that contains the textarea, the textarea and
other form elements data are stored in a database. So far so good.
My problem concerns carriage returns, new lines, line feeds or whatever
else you want to call them :-)
I want them preserved, so when the user wants to edit the description of
the item, the format of the description is displayed exaclty as it was
entered.
The problem is that HTML renders the carriage returns as white space, so
when the database is read and the textarea populated with the
description field, the carriage returns are lost.
I have tried the ASP REPLACE function to replace carriage returns with
<br>, but the code below actually displays all the <br>'s.
<%=Replace(myRecordset.Fields.Item("myField").Value,Chr(13),"<br>")%>
I played around with different combinations of chr(13) and vbcrlf and I
managed to get the textarea to display the description as it was entered
with carriage returns, but upon further testing and editing of the
description, because of the REPLACE function, the number of carriage
returns was doubling each time!

i have 2 tables one table stores the information for the prof and second table stores information for the subject he teaches so first table deptprof has the id,name,email for the professor
so i get his last name and email which is working second table design is name is deptlist
fields are
deptautoid
deptid
subjectname
desc
so one professor might be teaching 3 subjects
so the records in table are
1001
3
maths
maths subject is boring
1002
3
science
science is good
1003
3
sports
make some time for it
so now this page lets the professor update the subject and its desc
so what i do is fill up the subjects and desc he is currently assigned to and then he can change the subjects
and desc
subjects have a checkbox and desc has a textarea
what happens is for example a professor has 3 subjects he is teaching now
so 3 checkboxes are selected and all the desc for them are displayed in the textarea
but now the professor decides he wants to teach 4 subjects
so he selects the 4th subject checkbox and doesnt enter the desc i want to fire the alert
but it doesnt fire the alert
second way prof is teaching 3 subjects
3 checkboxes are selected and 3 textarea are filled
professor decides to delete desc in one of them and hits submit i want to fire an alert
saying he forget desc but it doesnt fire so whenver desc is deleted from the textarea and checkbox for it is selected
i want to fire an alert
can someone tell me whats wrong with the code
thanks,

I'm looking for some basic end user textarea formatting, similar to the formatting available when messages are created in this forum, bt even more basic.
I really would like let the user add hyperlinks and to add bolded text without knowing the html tags for these. Any suggestions on where to look for this. Ideally something that would work with all browsers (i.e. including Opera).

I need to create a form with a textarea on an ASP page that, when opened, fills the textarea with the current contents of a field in an Access database, and each time the form is submitted, appends any new text added to the existing text in the database field. I can do this, but the text runs together when it fills the text area. Example:
Entry 1
Entry 2
comes back as
Entry 1Entry 2
Any suggestions on how I can maintain line feeds when I pull the appended field back from the database.

I know this is not a core .asp issue, but I'll try anyway. I've used the TEXTAREA element for a while, but as you know it's limited when it comes to formating part of the text inside a TEXTAREA.Does anyone have expirience using other text cointainer objects (Java/ActiveX), which is easy to use and easy to read values from when sending a form to a procedure .asp page?
