Repopulating text area quirk.<

[windows]

Hi Everyone,

I have a strange problem repopulating my textarea. It seems to have two tabs when I go to edit. The data is being grabbed either from a database or post data.

Any ideas?


<textarea rows="20" cols="50" name="description">
<?php if (isset($_POST['description'])) {
echo stripslashes(trim($_POST['description']));
} else {
if (isset($description)) echo stripslashes(trim($description));
}
?></textarea>may or may not help but make sure you use nl2br(); on the echoed variable when it's multi-line(like a description).Originally posted by ianmh

two tabs? what tabs?Like tabs when you hit the tab key. When I repopulate my text field, the first line always has two tabs. Doesn't effect anything other than it bugs me. ahhh, inside the textarea, you mean spaces. well tha tcould be the way you have things setup. if you can make it all one line.

if (isset($_POST['description'])) {
$content = stripslashes(trim($_POST['description']));
} else {
if (isset($description)) $content = stripslashes(trim($description));
}

<textarea rows="20" cols="50" name="description"><?php echo $content ?></textarea>Thanks soutt, I will try that next time I am working on this.
