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?
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 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?
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?

Is there a way to extract the paragraphs out of a string?
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 am trying to send an email with the values from a form. I want to send the text field values as paragraphs on the email. It comes as one paragraph and there is no break.
View Replies View RelatedI 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:

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 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??
In one of our applications we have product id field which sometime contains ' . When doing a search the sql breaks due to this. I cannot use replace function to remove this is there anything else I can do so that this works
strProductId = 2277'778
sqlstr = " Select * from productdetails where id ='" & strProductId & "'"
In this instance the sql breaks and gives me an error. how i can solve this.
Im developing a site for an organisation im a member of. Im trying to make updating the site a simple as possible for the organistions staff, some of which are not the computer literate. So i have made a kind of template site where the content of all the pages held in a access db. I have then made an admin backend where organisation staff can login and update the contents of pages simply by editing text in a text box and clicking the update button.
However, i've come across a problem. When users leave a line break in the text box the output page doesnt display the gap. I am using a simple response write to display the contents of the attribute on the page. Currently the only way im managing to get line breaks is to enter a '<br>' into the text box on the admin page.
How could i make it so when a line is left blank on the text box the database records this and displays it on the output page?

View Replies View RelatedI am trying to modify an existing ASP application that produces forms with several 'blocks' of text that are contained within table cells and which have their own HTML id's.
These blocks must not be split over two pages. Is there a straightforward way of calculating the size of each block/table cell so that the blocks are not split and the form prints on the minimum number of pages? This is an intranet application, so we have a certain amount of control over browser settings, so margin settings etc are not a problem.
We have a page that reads records from a database and displays them. Basically name/address/city/state/zip/county/phone. These records are between 4-6 lines a piece (there are other variables involved).
When printing these records via i.e. we currently have a process where we determine how many records have been written and eventually put a table with .break { page-break-after: always } style applied to it. The problem is, sometimes a page will hold 14 records, sometimes 15, sometimes 16. Is there a better approach to this so that records don't get cut off and it maximizes the number of records that display on each page?

I'm storing information in a database that will later be displayed on the website and I have a questions about line breaks. My users will type in paragraphs into the text area. Then that information will be saved in an Access Database. Later it will be displayed on the website.
The only problem is that the line breaks that the user makes aren't stored in the DB, so when the information is displayed on the website it doesn't have that formatting (line breaks). I don't want to have to tell the user to type in <br> after each paragraph. What can I do to keep that formatting?

Does anyone know how to get this to preserve the formatting of the text being inserted?
