Textarea Form Element
I have noticed on some forms that when a user submits the form and there is a textarea element that a lot of extra whitespace is getting submitted at the end of the elements content. What's going on.

View RepliesI have a form that has dynamically assigned element names. How would I do the following:
(original code)
sub OnControlLoad
set Control = Document.getElementById("MsRdpClient")
if Not Control is Nothing then
if Control.readyState = 4 then
Document.all.connectbutton.disabled = FALSE
end if
end if
end sub
I want to get this line
Document.all.connectbutton.disabled = FALSE
to loop and look like
Document.all.connectbutton1.disabled = FALSE
Document.all.connectbutton2.disabled = FALSE
Document.all.connectbutton3.disabled = FALSE
etc....up to a predefined value
I have a dynamic form sending information via name=value pairs.I know I can read the value of each element in the sending form by using the following....
for i = 1 to request.form.count
response.write "<p>" & request.form(i)
next
but since it's a dynamic entry page (it's built based on number of fields in a database), I need to know the name of each element also.not just the value.Is there a good way to get the "name" portion of the element on the form without having to parse through the request.form string?
how I write this in VBScript (it doesn't like the 'key' object) Code:
<%
For i = 0 To Request.Form.Count - 1
Response.Write(Request.Form.Keys(i) & "=" & Request.Form.Item(i) & "</br>")
Next
%>

View Replies View RelatedI have a ton of TD attributes that have to be changed based on the
data in the DB. All TD elements are ID and runat=server.
Changing the attributes of a SINGLE TD is simple:
<td id=thisTD runat=server>
thisTD.Attributes.Clear();
thisTD.Attributes.Add("Class",reader["thisTD_Class"].toString());
Now, say we have 100 TD elements with IDs TD_1 to TD_100
I have not been able to find a way to (essentially) say:
for(int i=0;i<100;i++){
"TD_"+i.Attributes.Clear();
"TD_"+i.Attributes.Add("Class",reader["TDClass"+i].toString());
}
in J-Script, I could do it by Eval() or about eight ways through the
DOM. It seems crazy to me that if I can access the Attributes of a
specific element directly by ID (thisTD.Attributes), I couldn't also
access it by reference.
But I have been able to find NOTHING to indicate how this may be done.
Obviously, my problem is not limited to a single attribute, or else I
would have just typed them all out by now. Trouble is, there is a lot
of logic that must be applied to the data before setting the
attribute. Without being able to iterate or loop by reference, I will
be typing for ages just to change some freaking classes.
I am designing a website for a friend that has a backend database that holds information on all the stock they have and this gets displayed onto the page no problems.
The only problem I have is when they add new items to the database, a part of the form is a textarea and in this teaxtarea they copy generated code from paypal (a form that is generated by Paypal as a add to basket button).
The problem I have got is that if you try to add this textarea to the database field what you get is a image of the paypal button and no code.
I have tried the replace function, concatenated it in comments etc but all i get is a blank field or a image of the button.
I have a text area on a form. I want the user to be able to type in text and where they want a line break to hit the return key in the text area. On the submission I want to replace those carriage returns with html code like <br /> Can this be done?
View Replies View Relatedi have built an interface for template making. i am using a simple form with a text area and submit button to save the code, i want to show in a template page, into the database.
I also use the same textare to view any code saved to the database for a specific page.
THE PROBLEM - i have to save a
response.write("<textarea..............></textarea>")
the minute i paste it into the textarea it saves it fine but shows it wrong as if once it reads the </textarea> in my saved code the main page 'closes' the main textarea . i.e. the rest of my saved code is shown as part of the page - and its not pretty!
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 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 getting this error message with the following piece of code.
sqlSelect = "Select * from UserPermissions where UserID = " & UserID &
";"
set tbl = GetRecordset(sqlSelect, false)
while not tbl.eof

Permissions.add tbl("SectionID"), 1

The screen displays

I've been staring at this problem for two hours now.

Are there any div attributes that could force a div element to stay in the
background? I have a .vbs calendar class that opens a small calendar.
Unfortunately, sometimes it opens above a form element like a combo box and
the combo box shows on top of my calendar.
The combo in question happens to be within div tags because it hides/appears
depending on another form choice.
Any got any good links on forcing div elements to the background?

View Replies View RelatedI'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,
todd
