Hi, I'm trying to find some good reference material for working with text within a text area. My specific questions are related to using this tag in a web based message center atmosphere: - how do I throw a few page breaks in there on a reply to give room to type without having to make the user hit enter a few times to make room? I tried using <br> and Chr(13) and I only see the tags in there and not what they're supposed to be doing. - how can I set a > as a precursor to each line in the reply? Dammit - I know this one is easy but I'm dumb today. - What are the various wrap=virtual; wrap=soft attributes and how do they affect the actual text - I can't seem to find any difference. Hotmail uses soft, so I'm being a big follower right now. - How can I filter out the display of cftags or any other unwanted html/javascript for any malicious users out there that want to try to get funny? Whether I send the email using cfmail as type="html", or no type (which is plain text) - a <cfoutput>hello</cfoutput> still displays "hello" when i am reading the email through the message center (this is no good). Seems as if hotmail uses a javascript filter function, anyone know how I can copy that? Otherwise I would probably need to set a list of unwanted tags as a variable in cf and then run the body of the message through a replace loop - am I getting warm? Hope somebody has a more efficient solution. - What's the easiest method of preserving the formatted text on a reply in the <textarea>. It seems as if there is always a little bug no matter how I do it. (sorry to be unspecific) I don't expect anyone to take time out of their work to answer all of these, but if you can point me to a good reference that discusses the "art of formatting the damn text right" or even answer one of these - it would help me out a lot seeing as I'm the developer/dba/MIS monkey/tech support/network admin/ and any thing else you can think of that takes more than half of a brain - I have little time to focus on such intricacies - hence, I figured I would shoot a little email on over to you cf junkies. (sorry, I'm frustrated - hope this post doesn't seem overly desperate or long but I might as well get all of them out of the way instead of spamming the list.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
