Re: How to set the default value of a textarea?
Thanks for the reply. I am using 1.1.13.4450. I tried setting 'value' => 'something' in the html attributes array and it worked. Apparently, I had done something wrong before.

Re: How to set the default value of a textarea?
One thing to look out for... (at least with 1.2)
You have two options for setting a default value using the htmlhelper
params array
// value will always be set to 'mytext'
array('value' => 'mytext');
// value will be 'mytext' ONLY if the field is not set in $this-
>data[...]
array('default' => 'mytext');
Cheers,
Adam

At least on 1.1.15, inside the textarea() function in the libs/view/helpers/html.php file, if you set the 'value' key in the $htmlAttributes array, it should be set as the value between the textarea tags (unless you've created a app/config/tags.ini.php file in which case you'd need to make sure the last %s is between the textarea tags) - Gonzalo --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

How to set the default value of a textarea?
In an html textarea object, the default value is set between the begin tag and the end tag, i.e. default value. How does one set the default value of $html->textarea(...)? $html->extarea() does not recognize a 'value' attribute in the html attribute array. Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
