You need to trim() the variable. Clint
-----Original Message----- From: Thane Sherrington [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 7:34 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: TextArea Input I have a memo field and I'm using a <textarea></textarea> to enter the information. It seems to work fine, and the data looks good in the table, but when I bring it back up to edit it, the text shows a large whitespace before it. So I have code like this. <textarea name="text" col="120" row="5"> <cfoutput>#GetText.Text#</cfoutput> </textarea> Any suggestions?
