Hi. There seem to be tabs already in some of my input fields (seems to be textarea fields) when I go to add a record, which causes the output to look funny. Any idea what I can do about this?

Also, I used the code you provided to someone else to allow wrapping when the ENTER key is pressed during data entry, and then print it properly from html.pl. However, the code <BR> shows up in the field when I go to modify a record. Is this supposed to happen? Can I get rid of it?

Thanks,
KimL

Hi, Kim!

Glad to see that you are sticking with DBMAN.
I would love to see the final product! Let me know when it is available for public viewing, okay??

Anyway, the <BR> should not show up in the modify form. You can use the following codes to clean up the views in your textboxes:


OR if you only have a variable defined and not a field, you can use the following:


Place these codes before the following line:


in your html_record sub-routine.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Kim, I would need to see your html.pl file to be able to give you specific help on what's going on.

Please copy your html.pl file to a web-accessible directory -- one where you would place html files -- and rename it to html_pl.txt. Then come back here and let me know where it is. I'll take a look.

Hi, JPDeni. The file is at www.evms.edu/test/html_pl.txt .

Hi, Eliot. It's getting there I'll be happy to let you see it when it's done.

Do you mean put that code instead of, or in addition to, what I already have (I haven't done this yet)?


Thanks,
KimL

You need to take out the


from sub html_record_form. This is only for sub html_record.

With your textarea definitions, you need to have everything on one line.

Instead of


use


Everything between MAXLENGTH="255"> and </TEXTAREA> will go into your textarea, including linefeeds and spaces.
