Someone mentioned that there was a textarea field that did this.

Anyone remember the name? I can't find it on the list. Or more likely
I'm not searching for the right terms.

Re: Textarea that uploads images from Word docs behind the scenes.

[Alan Rother]

I think What you mean is there is a WYSIWYG editor out there that can do
that.

FCK and SoEditor have the functionality to allow you to upload images, but I
don't beleieve either actually lets you upload the image in the text area...
I think they both have you use an upload utility and then the image gets
added to the text you are editing.

google fck editor and you will see some examples.

RE: Textarea width

[Adkins, Randy]

See that's what I get for working on stuff about 15 hours straight.
The obvious is overlooked. At first I was trying cols="*" but I guess
That only worked for TDs a long time ago.

RE: TextArea for multi inputs

[Loathe]

On the action page you treat the form field's output (form["whatever"] or
form.whatever) as a list using CRLF as the list delimiter.

Re: TextArea for multi inputs

[S . Isaac Dealey]

Of course then if you need to pre-populate the textarea, you need to
use the same sort of strategy:

#ValueList(myQuery.column,chr(13) & chr(10))#

-- you may find that you only need one or the other character when
embedding those values in the html due to the browser's handling of
line breaks. This is an edge case for me, so I can't give you loads of
info about it.

Same concept, one TEXTAREA field and on the action page, just parse the
Results as a list type field using the carriage return as the delimiter.

RE: TextArea for multi inputs

[Andy Matthews]

You can put whatever you like into a textarea field. If you put multiple
email address in there, seperated by a comma say. Then all you need to do is
to loop over the contents of that field to perform multiple inserts when
you're processing the form.

On your processing page, you can use something like the following:



#i#

Re: textarea looping

It may look like a space between them in HTML (debugging output?), but is it really a line feed or carriage return/line feed?

If so, try using chr(13) and chr(10) as list delimiters.

Hi guys,

I remember seeing a page once in the past where the  had a
countdown.  I want users to only type in 120 characters but it would be
nice for them to see the amount of characters they have left to use
dynanically changing.

This will be used for text messaging (120 characters for the user and
then 40 for a footer that I'll use with standard info).

Yea, that's my arbitrary limit. Was dealing with a sql 6.5 db. You can
expand that number to whatever you need. Just make sure that the id of the
text field matches the object reference, and that the form name matches as
well. You dont have to use my names, but just change the function to whever
yours are called. The counter cell refers to a cell that I used to visually

Subject: textarea field limit

Is there any way to limit how much text is put into a textarea field via a
form? I want to prevent too many characters from being typed in similar to
the maxlength field in a onle line text box.

Thx.

RE: textarea field limit

[John Stanley]

Yea, that's my arbitrary limit. Was dealing with a sql 6.5 db. You can
expand that number to whatever you need. Just make sure that the id of the
text field matches the object reference, and that the form name matches as
well. You dont have to use my names, but just change the function to whever
yours are called. The counter cell refers to a cell that I used to visually
tell the user how many characters they had left to type as they are typing.

fires off of the onKeyDown method for a text area

function check_input_length(){

RE: textarea field limit

[Pascal Peters]

Only in _javascript_

function limitSize(obj,len,label){
	if(obj.value.length > len){
		obj.value = obj.value.slice(0,len);
		if(label) alert(label + " can be max. " + len + "
characters long!");
	}
}

You can call this function in the js form validation and/or in the
events of the textarea directly:


 description of the organisation\'s
activities and objectives');" >

The value displayed in the textarea form element is specified

scroll="yes">#description#

You also need to use  tags of course.

RE: textarea line numbering

[Joshua Miller]

If you want to rely on JavaScript you could also put the line numbers in
another dropdown box and when you scroll one box they both scroll at the
same rate. If you add a new line you could automatically add another
line to the line-number box. I'm sure you could do some tweaking to hide
the scrollbar of the line number box by laying the code box on the next
z-index layer above the line numbers.

RE: textarea line numbering

[Joshua Miller]

Yeah, that chokes even in their example. The empty line at the end has
no number, nor does the last closing }. It ends at 17 even though there
are truly 19 lines in the code - and that's in IE on Windows.

Just a thought ...

Subject: textarea line numbering


I've been exploring the possibility of editing stylesheets online and
I'm looking for a way to provide line numbering in a textarea window.
Anybody seen anything like this?

The best I can come up with is (instead of textarea) using a series of
text fields one on top of another each with a number next to them.

RE: soEditor was RE: TextArea & MS Word

[S . Isaac Dealey]

You mean placing Flash movies within the content area? ...

I'm not real certain exactly how I'm going to implement it as of yet -- my
cms has a "preview" feature which allows you to preview a page if you have
it open in the content editor, but when editing smaller bits of content (
menus, news articles which might be a subclass of Text instead of being a
subclass of Page for various reasons ), much of the formatting may depend
heavily on elements of the page which would be unknown at the level at which
the content is being edited, so previewing a menu for instance, might mean
nothing without knowing what style sheet or other formatting elements might
apply to the page, since the menu might be included in many different pages
with many different layouts and style definitions...

But now I'm rambling and probably not making a whole lot of sense... So...

I'm not real sure how I plan to implement it at this point... I'd like to
implement it in a way that's inclusive of the #coldfusionvariable# macro
method of embedding these smaller content items within pages and other
containers, so I guess I'll be spending some time on those forums. :) It's
good to know that you were able to use your own Image management tool
without much difficulty, as I may be trying to do much the same...

That and I used my own Image Manager tool.

There are one or two other issues that can be resolved pretty easily, see

Tested with a Word document from Randell Adkins on a unicode enabled 
setup and it worked fine. Hail unicode. Feel free to do your own tests

If they have a version for CF MX that can do Unicode you should be fine.

BTW, probably unicode is not strictly necessary. You could also go 
search for another charset that has everything you need, but I doubt 
that is worth it.

RE: TextArea & MS Word

[Janine Jakim]

We have tried lots of fonts etc for the same problem (we use activepdf)
We have found the only solution is to have the person type the information
in Notepad(PC) or Simpletext(Mac).   I worked extensively with the support
from Activepdf on this problem and couldn't come up with a solution.
One work about-if the user wants to use some word features such as spell
check (warning: this will drive some folks nuts) is to type it in Notepad
first then paste in Word. It will keep the apostrophes intact. (assuming you
don't type any new ones)
Wish I had a better answer to give...

Here is a quick question:

Using MS Word 2000 or even 97, copying information from a document
and pasting it into a TEXTAREA box will lose the formatting such as
apostrophes.

I am not concerned with the BOLD or Italicize but the apostrophes,
commas, and quotes I am concerned about.

With the TEXTAREA if I manually type the apostrophes, commas, and 
quotes, then it is retained when saving to the database.

But if Pasted from MS Word, it transforms the apostrophe into a 
little square box.

Any suggestions on why this occurs? We are looking at ActiveEdit
or soEditorLite to handle this but baffles me why I can manually 
type it and it is retained verses pasting it into the field and then
it is converted.

TIA!

I guess it's cos of the 'smart quotes' in Word, i.e. quotes and apostrophes
that look like traditional print quotes and apostrophes - a tiny ball with a
curved tail - instead of the monotype-type things with just tiny vertical
lines. The latter are part of the standard ASCII character set, the former
aren't - I think.

This may not be the correct technical explanation, but it's a good ball park
for understanding why you get the little boxes when pasting in from Word.
Here's some options:

- Find the correct character codes for the 'smart quotes' and replace them
with the correct escape codes - or plain ASCII quotes - when processing the
form server-side.

- Try updating the textarea contents client-side with JavaScript along
similar lines (not tried this before, but I assume it's feasible). You'd
either run the JS from an onchange event handler on the textarea, or have a
'Tidy' button to trigger it in the form.

- Go with a WYSIWYG solution like soEdit.

A little square box usually means a charset problem. If you have a Word 
document that gives you this problem, put it up somewhere and I will 
test it in a unicode setup.

Thane,

You also might want to look at using a different field name too.

"text" is a reserved word in SQL, so you might wind up with some strange

RE: TextArea Input

[Rich Wild]

you've got whitespace in your code:

change it to this:

I have a memo field and I'm using a  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.

#GetText.Text#


Any suggestions?

RE: textarea and cffile

[Garza, Jeff]

SiteObjects' SOEditor2.x will also do the job quite nicely.  They have a
freeware version as well.

We use it extensively for our intranet CMS.

I would like to be able to have users in an intranet submit text for
others
to see via  and then use to create a
file.

The problem comes when users want to cut-and-paste from articles or from
word docs (which, I'm told, they do). The resulting file doesn't have
any of
the paragraph breaks.

I use wrap="physical" in the  and
#ParagraphFormat(Form.content)#

ParagraphFormat works well if people go back into the text and add
paragraph
breaks. However this is not acceptable to the users.

Is there anything else to use besides HTMLCodeFormat, HTMLEditFormat and
ParagraphFormat?

TIA

P.S. Now, of course, I'm greedy. In addition to keeping paragraph breaks
I
would love it if the formatting  could be kept too. hehehehe

check the "wrap" attribute...some may have it and other may not (thus
defaulting to virtual I think)

bullet? on textarea?
you can translate the chr(13) which is ENTER (linefeed) to  by using
ReplaceNoCase(textareafieldname,chr(13),"","all")

RE: textarea

[Christopher Olive, CIO]

well, you can't techincally put "bullets" in there, but if you want to save
the carriage returns that people use in your textarea, use the WRAP="HARD"
attribute in the textarea.

when outputting, use ParagraphFormat() to do something about the CRs in the
output.

Hi all,
I've got a form which has a text area for people to
fill in.  Then the next page displays the information
they entered.  What i want to do is save the
information the people entered but in the same format.
 So for example, if the information entered is in
bullet format, each on a separate line.  I want it to
display that way, each bullet on a separate line.  Is
that possible? and how?

I have tried everything to clean up the code.  It works fine in IE and
Netscape 6, it has the nice box with the text and a vertical scroll bar.
But, in Netscape 4.76 the text is just pasted all over the page with no nice
scroll box, it's just ugly.

Ok here is my next question. I have a form page located at:
http://www.cfm-resources.com/h/happytoad

This page creates an html file that is displayed in a textarea box on the
results page.  the probblem is that because the html is generated
dynamically, I can't figure out how I can save this to a database.

Please advise of any ideas.  By the way you can test the form without having
to enter any info.

Thanks in advance,

Try using #paragraphformat(htmleditformat(your_content_here))#. Works for me.

Re: Textarea formatting question

[Adam Cantrell]

I just did that last week.  I was temporarily putting the #textbody#
variable in  tag, but this string works better for what I was doing

#ReplaceNoCase("#textbody#", Chr(13), "", "ALL")#

but I still haven't figured out how to filter out any unwanted tags that
could easily cause damage - just haven't got to it yet.  Like if some guy
puts , , or even  to turn my cfserver into a
spam gateway or something.  I'm sure there's a simple function for it, but
if anyone knows of a good method for allowing only certain tags to display,
I would appreciate any pointers.

Textarea works differently to every other form input type:
#body#
should get it done.

This is probably going to be repeated by 1000 other people, but here goes:

The textarea field is a little different than other input fields in that its
a paired tag, rather than a single tag.  It doesn's support the VALUE
parameter.  Instead, the value goes between the start and end TEXTAREA tags.
Change your code to the following:


#body#

RE: textarea

[Dempsey, Timothy F.]

Gregg,

The textarea tag does not have a "value" attribute (unlike the input
type=text which does). Therefore you should say:

 
  #body#


instead.

The Textarea value goes *between* the textarea tags, not in a

Textarea doesnot have a value attribute. Use the following:

#body#

It is also useful to apply the trim() function to the body variable, to
prevent any addition whitespace.

try taking out value="#body#" and putting the #body# between your textarea
tags like

Hi, I'm sort of a newbie with Cold fusion, so I'm probably doing some
simple mistake. I can't get my text to show up on a cfquery using
 tag. Here is my code:

Wierd thing is if I change it to an imput type ="text" it works fine. So i
know it has to be something in my textarea code. Wierd part is, that same
exact code is used elsewhere and works. If anyone can help please do,
thanks.  The database is in access and is set for "memo" in that field.  It
wouldn't be so bad but, some of the articles are rather long for a normal
text field.

Use this

   #body#


Put the variable between the start and end  tags.

RE: Textarea

[Mark Warrick]

Your problem is not ColdFusion-related, it's HTML syntax that you need to learn more 
about.  Check any online manual regarding HTML specs - there's tons of them available.

Your current problem will be solved as follows:

#body#

RE: Textarea problem

[Sean Brown]

This is not the case:
IsDefined is one of those 'funny' tags the proper syntax for checking the
existence of a variable FORM.FirstName is:

IsDefined("FORM.FirstName")

Also #'s are note required inside of most other tags so the following is
syntactically correct:

...


Use #'s to interpolate the variable (get at the value not the name). That's
why IsDefined is unusual, you are looking for the presence of a variable
_name_ in the symbol table, if you put #'s in there you'll be looking for
the presence of whatever FORM.FirstName's value is in the symbol table (if
FORM.FirstName is Bob, then IsDefined("#FORM.FieldName#") will look in the
symbol table for a variable named "BOB")

Inside of tags (and outside of quotes) CF interpolates the value for you so
you can do things like:

 


But if you have a variable called ColorList and ColorList="red,green,blue"
and you want to loop over that list, you'll need to use the #'s in the
list="" because you want to loop over the value contained in the variable
named colorList:

Make a default value for the form, as: 

That should fix it for you.
