Workaround To Add Value To TextArea
Hi; I've noticed that html doesn't support a value attribute for textarea. I have a form in which I enable users to edit data they've entered into my database, and one of the data is a textarea. How do I fill the textarea with the value, or what kind of workaround can I create? TIA, Victor -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi Victor, You'll find the textarea and input tags differ significantly, even though they're both typically used in HTML forms. The W3C page has a fair overview of how various parts of HTML forms work in HTML 4.01, and it's roughly accurate for XHTML up to 1.1 as well: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html HTH, Rami -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Silly mistake. Thought I had to put the value inside the tag like the other tags. Thanks, V -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
