I have a description text box that's 4 rows x 40 columns, I also set wrap="virtual". It works fine, but when the record was added or the search results are displayed it does not have a carriage return. It displays as one long line in the results and it really screws my result pages up. Anyone have any ideas? I used: <TR><TD VALIGN=TOP><P ALIGN=RIGHT>
<B><FONT>Description:</FONT></B></TD>
<TD VALIGN=TOP><P> <TEXTAREA NAME="Description" ROWS="4" COLS="40" WRAP="VIRTUAL" MAXLENGTH="500">$rec{'Description'}</TEXTAREA></TD></TR>
Any help would be great.

In your html.pl file, you have to add in the following codes:


to the top of the following sub-routines:

sub html_record
sub html_record_long (*)

(*) if you are using the short/long display mod.

Hope this helps.

That didn't work either. I think I found a bug by accident. I was testing my description area by just holding down one key for about three rows. I guess it can't force a break when you have a continuous line of characters. This isn't important but it can sure fry the output forms! Also is there a way to initialize the ID counter again? After deleting db entries manually in the default.db it wont return to 1 for the ID count. Thanks again for the help.

Well, you can also try to add "physical" to the wrap command. So, it should look like:


But you still need to use the codes I gave you to put line breaks into the search results and add confirmation screen.

You can reset the count by editing the default.count file. Set that file to 0 if you are starting over. Set it to the totally number of records in your default.db file if you want the numbers to be added on to the last record number.
