Form/input Tags In A Textarea
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 found that places double quotes ' "text" ' around text inside (INPUT) tags results in everything after the initial quote, '"' gets truncated.
I'm passing the form information to another form to allow the user to look over and validate what they're submitting, then they will click the submit
button to send it all along.
I'm finding that in the validation form, the quoted text inside the (INPUT) tag gets truncated. However, the quoted text inside a TEXTAREA tag does not.

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?

Is there a way to detect if the user has placed two returns in a form field for example as below:- This is a short paragraph This is the second paragraph
And automatically add the surrounding <p></p> tags on inserting this into the database. Same with the edit of pages. Rather than showing the <p></p> in the form is there a way to just apply the paragraphs for the user to visually see thus preventing code in the form window?

i 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!

I want to have a form like a table of record. If I let user input number of record to be insert in advance, how can I make a form that having number of rows of input? For example:
Number of records : 5
Then I need a input form like a table with the column and 5 row like Excel format.
The form:
Title Row : No. | Dept ID | Emp ID | Base Salary |
Input Row1 : 1 | | | |
Input Row2 : 1 | | | |
Input Row3 : 1 | | | |
Input Row4 : 1 | | | |
Input Row5 : 1 | | | |
I'm thinking all my input will be array. Then when user submit I'll split it and insert to DB. Code:

I have a form which inputs info into a database. However what I would like is to populate a select box directly from the dbase. When the form is entered the field is updated along with all the other info.
I have enclosed two of my pages - I think I'm nearly there.

I've got a form inserting some data into the DB.
When I try to insert data with "'" in between, say Dummy's.
I get an sql syntax error.
Heres my code:
strTitle = CStr(Request.Form(txtTitle))
sql_insert = "INSERT INTO db VALUES ('&txtTitle&')"
I can insert any data as long as it doesn't have "'".
Is there anyway I can go around it?

I have a HTML page with a form on it. I have an ASP page that processes what a user has entered into the form (updates a database etc).
I now need a page that fits between these two pages to pre-process�the users input. I need to do it this way because I am not allowed to change either of the two existing pages.
I know how to read what the user has input into the form and I know how to pass control onto the next page.
What I have not been able to work out is how to change the user input and have those changes passed onto the next page as if nothing has happened (that is, the original ASP page just performs its request.form(�item�) calls as it always has but instead of seeing what the user actually typed in, it should see the changed text as created by the new pre process� page)
I have tried using a regular expression replace but can only successfully make this change a variable and not the original form input. Equally I cannot find a way of swapping the original form input string with the output variable from the replace.
Does anyone have any ideas on this one?

I'm working on a form where the user is not required to fill out every text input. How mught I check for that in an ASP script. Here's what I have:
If Request.Form("mp3title1") == ""
amnt = 0;
Else If Request.Form("mp3title2") == ""
amnt = 1;
Else If Request.Form("mp3title3") == ""
amnt = 2;
Else If Request.Form("mp3title4") == ""
amnt = 3;
Else If Request.Form("mp3title5") == ""
amnt = 4;
End If
Pretty straight forward, its checking in order if the first element is left blank, is the correct technique:
== "", or is there more to it?

I want to send the data from a user's form input in an ASP email. For instance, shen the user submits their name and email address on a form, I would receive an email with those fields mixed in with a plain text message. How can I do this?
I have programmed extensively in other languages, but not ASP (our company is switching from ColdFusion), so I will need my answer in fairly introductory ASP terms.

How can I specify formatting restrictions for special fields like Postal Code
(format X1X 2C2) or date input field MM/DD/YYYY? I have Acces DB with these specs, but when I used FP2002 Database Interface Wizard, it ignores these. Also I am unable to "edit" any of the records utilizing pages generated by this wizard.
There is an error that it will not accept empty fields. I have no problem adding data (even if some fields are empty) or deleting records.

I'm reading data from an XML form and prepopulating a FORM. For the text inputs I have no problem prepopulating the Values from the file...
document.forms[0].elements['FormName'].value=xmlObj.childNodes(0).childNodes(0).firstChild.text;
But one of my fields is based on input from a radio input (three inputs with a value of 1,2,3). Since they all have the same name using the code above will not set they value for any of them. Anybody else run into this, or have a suggested way I should do this.

I am going to have a form on one page that will have a bunch of options(checkboxes, radio buttons, text areas, text fields, etc.) and these options are going to deal with a certain category. Each category will have different options. Now after this form is filled out they will then proceed to another page to fill out contact information. Name, Addy, State, City, etc.
Now, after they fill this contact form out they will submit it and then it will go through a database and depending on what state and county they are in it will email the information from both forms to the email addresses in the database that match that state and county(as well as category). Now dont worry I aint wondering how to actually search the db and all that yet.
All I want to know right now is how do you remember the first forms information while you go to the second page to fill out the contact information? Using cookies? What? I dont want the form input to be displayed on the second page, just remembered.
So I will select all my options from the first form and fill out all the text areas and fields and all that then click on the Next button or whatever, then fill out contact info.
How do I get it to retain BOTH forms information, and for now just display both of them on a third page(like I said I will worry about the db query and email crap later). I hope this makes sense.

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>
