asp_databases thread: Inserting a memo field in a multiline textbox


Message #1 by "Warren Nash" <wjcnash@b...> on Wed, 14 Feb 2001 18:49:29
Hi 

I am trying to insert the contents of an access memo field into a 

multiline textbox. I don't get anything being inserted. However if I 

response.write the memo field outside of the textbox it is complete. Not 

sure whatI am doing wrong. I have tried saving it to a variable and then 

using that for the value of the textbox.



I tried this first:

<td>Job Description:

</td>

<td><textarea name="txtJobDescription" cols="50" rows="5" <%

=rsJobRec.Fields("JobDescription").Value%>></textarea>

</td>



And then tried this:

<%strDescription=rsJobRec.Fields("JobDescription").Value

Response.Write strDescription%>



<td>Job Description:

</td>

<td><textarea name="txtJobDescription" cols="50" rows="5" <%

=strDescription%>></textarea>

</td>



Thanks in advance for your time

Warren

You are close in the first example.  You just need to close the textarea tag

prior to inserting the data.  Do as follows

</td>

<td><textarea name="txtJobDescription" cols="50" rows="5">

<%=rsJobRec.Fields("JobDescription").Value%></textarea>

</td>

How about



"<td><textarea name="txtJobDescription" cols="50"

rows="5"><%=rsJobRec.Fields("JobDescription")%></textarea>

</td>"



?

What you need to do is write like this:



<td><textarea name="txtJobDescription" cols="50" rows="5"><%

=rsJobRec.Fields("JobDescription").Value%></textarea>

</td>



When it is a textarea the value is written in the box itself



hope its what you're looking for



:)

Try this:



<textarea name="txtJobDescription" cols="50" rows="5">

<%=strDescription%></textarea>



That should work!

The text area does not use the value paroperty. Do this:



<textarea name="txtJobDescription" cols="50" rows="5"><%

=rsJobRec("JobDescription")%></textarea>
