Line breaks being lost in textarea form field
I don't know if this specifically a CF question so sorry if it is considered OT. I have an admin section of the site that lets the owner add and edit items/products. I am having an issue with the description field where the newline/enter key input is being lost when editing an entry. To give more detail, we have a product description saved in the db like so: This is product description1. This is paragraph 2. This is paragraph 3 I am using the tag ParagraphFormat2.cfm from cflib and the output is working fine on the product page. However, when the owner goes to edit the item, and the description is pulled from the db, it appears like this: This is product description1.This is paragraph 2.This is paragraph 3 After saving the item the text now appers on the product page without any paragraph breaks as a single paragraph. So if the owner wants to make any edits to the item they have to reformat the description re-adding the paragraph breaks. I tried adding htmleditformat() with no luck. Here is the tag: tdtextarea name=productDescription rows=10 cols=39#htmleditformat(attributes.itemForm.productDescription)#/textarea/td Any ideas? I would really appreciate it. Thank you. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:360225 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Line breaks being lost in textarea form field
I would view the source to see if the subsequent form edit has line breaks. If not this would indicate the data is not being saved as it was entered. You could also copy and paste the data out of the database into notepad or something, to see how the data is actually being stored.

Re: Removing bullets from textarea
John, Yes, I did. It works well for black circle bullets. The problem is with the white circle bullets and square bullets.

Re: Removing bullets from textarea
Dan, The hex code works for the black circle bullet, but not for the white bullet. Here is what I found and worked around to do the job. I found that white bullet from word document is not a bullet; it is a small letter 'o' I put a letter 'o' and the code for tab together. It works! Here is javascript: str.replace(/\o\t/g, . ); -Joy ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:357055 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Removing bullets from textarea
You'd need to convert the hexidecimal numbers to standard decimal numbers. The chr() does not work with hexidecimal values. -Dan On Tuesday, November 5, 2013, Joy Paulose wrote: John, I did use Replace function, but circle and square bullets still do not work.

RE: CR in a textarea problem
That IS how they will go into the database. You just have to make sure to format it that way when outputting it since browsers dont parse CRs as line breaks. So just insert the... Name1 Name2 Name3 Then when you output it replace the CRs with br / tags like so... #Replace(query.column, #chr(13)##chr(10)#, br /, all)# or just wrap it in pre tags ;-) ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Eliminating Textarea Whitespaces on UDF retuned values

Re: Eliminating Textarea Whitespaces on UDF retuned values
Sorry, I probably should have been more specific. The \s should strip any representation of standard whitespace. Other non-printing characters will not be stripped. You might want to try using the asc() function to see what at least one of those characters might be: asc ( left ( myString, 1 ) ) If it's not a whitespace character, you may have to try something like: REReplace ( myString, '^[\s\xdd]*', '' ) Where, in this case the dd in the character class represents the hexadecimal value of the non-printing character.

RE: Eliminating Textarea Whitespaces on UDF retuned values
Thanks Rob Nathan. Actually I was able to come-up with a work-around. The workaround is to put the value inside a local variable outside of the textarea. This does not create whitespaces: cfset foovar = methodname(number) textarea#foovar#/textarea However, this creates the whitespaces: textarea#methodname(number)#/textarea Now its just basically understanding what triggers one over the other.

cfinsert and pasted crap in a textarea

RE: cfinsert and pasted crap in a textarea
Les,
What I do is at the top of every page processing, I loop through the FORM
scope to strip out special MS word characters, or replace them. Soemthing
like this (part of my EscapeForm() UDF):
for (LOCAL.Key in FORM){
// Trim the field value.
ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ] = Trim(ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ]);
// Since we want to store regular quotes in the database, lets make
// sure we don't have any escaped quotes in the submitted values.
ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ] = Replace(ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ],
quot;, Chr(34), ALL);
// We don't want to store lame-ass Micorosoft characters since they
// never display correctly on the screen cross-browser. Replace the
// special characters that Microsoft uses.
ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ] = Replace(ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ],
Chr(8217), Chr(39), ALL);
ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ] = Replace(ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ],
Chr(8216), Chr(39), ALL);
ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ] = Replace(ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ],
Chr(8220), Chr(34), ALL);
ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ] = Replace(ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ],
Chr(8221), Chr(34), ALL);
ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ] = Replace(ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ],
Chr(8211), -, ALL);
ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ] = Replace(ARGUMENTS.Form[ LOCAL.Key ],
Chr(8212), -, ALL);
}
The 8000+ char values are MS Word quotes and apostrophes and dashes.

Spell Checking a Textarea

I know that there are editors (for textareas) that include spell checkers but they would like to use Word since it already has the companies dictionary added to it.

Re: Spell Checking a Textarea
You should be able to use the examples you have seen with ASPX, as the vbscript you are using will be client side...so the backend shouldn't really matter. And, as I'm sure you know, this will be IE only, and only if the security settings in IE allow it.

Keep in mind that the return differs from system to system. It could be Chr(13)Chr(10), but also chr(10) or even Chr(13). An alternative would be CommaSeperatedList = ListChangeDelims(form.myList,,,chr(10) chr(13)) This would work, no matter what system you are on.

Addendum - Don't forget that if there's a comma in one of the rows in the form field e.g. Green eggs, ham then you would get green eggs as one list item and ham as another..

I believe his issue is double quotes not single. for instance. input type=text name=name value=some textand some more The quote in the middle of the value will cause a problem.

RE: formatting in textarea
NO, don't modify the text before it goes into the database filling it with html tags. Leave it exactly as they typed it. Only format it with the replace() when displaying it in html. It will show up exactly as it was in a textarea. If you do it like you're saying, all of the text will run together when you display it in a textarea and all the carriage returns would be lost on the first update since all of your line breaks get replaced with a space. -Original Message- From: Will Tomlinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2004 9:21 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: formatting in textarea One other imprtant thing I've run into when using replace for this purpose is this: When you display the memo field in an edit form, those br's show up.

formatting in textarea
Hi all, Quick question on textarea: I have a form with a box where visitors can type comments. The input goes to an Access database with a memo field. My problem is, if they type one or more carriage returns, the text in the memo field does not reflect that, and obviously when the comments are displayed on the browser they look like one long paragraph instead of several shorter ones (separated by carriage returns) as the visitor intended. Any solutions for this?

The input goes to an Access database with a memo field. My problem is, if they type one or more carriage returns, the text in the memo field does not reflect that, and obviously when the comments are displayed on the browser they look like one long paragraph instead of several shorter ones (separated by carriage returns) as the visitor intended.

However, here's my doubt: if the text in the Memo field in Access is being stored without carriage returns, that means that whatever code or tags I use would have to be employed as data is *sent* to the database, so that carriage returns are included in that text. Can any of these solutions (e.g., locCarriageReturn, ParagraphFormat, etc.) be used *before* the data is stored (i.e., as data is sent), so that carriage returns are preserved?

RE: formatting in textarea
I try not to use paragraphformat() too much. Users usually end up complaining that their single line breaks become doubles. I usually input the text from a textarea just as they entered and then format it on output with #replace(str, #chr(13)##chr(10)#, br, ALL)# -Original Message- From: Keith Gaughan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 06, 2004 7:06 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: formatting in textarea Roberto Perez wrote: Hi all, Quick question on textarea: I have a form with a box where visitors can type comments.

textarea looping
ok, so i have been doing only admin stuff this last year...don't have my books with me and am having a completely brain fart friday... i need to get a list from a textarea so i can loop over it and ensure the directories exist, ie: the textarea values come back as a long string with spaces between them if the user entered them as a list (one dir on each line), but if i try to loop over them cfloop just sees it as one item, not a list, even if i tell it to use space as a delimiter... help. brain not working today...should know this. steph [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
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.

Re: textarea looping
Um, if they're entering them one per line, the delimiter would be a linebreak character, not a space.Try using 10 and 13 as delimiters, and make sure to trim(). --Ben Stephenie Hamilton wrote: ok, so i have been doing only admin stuff this last year...don't have my books with me and am having a completely brain fart friday... i need to get a list from a textarea so i can loop over it and ensure the directories exist, ie: the textarea values come back as a long string with spaces between them if the user entered them as a list (one dir on each line), but if i try to loop over them cfloop just sees it as one item, not a list, even if i tell it to use space as a delimiter... help. brain not working today...should know this. steph [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
