hey,
May be too technical jargons are not needed in this issue. incase in the first run you are storing the value in text area in a database .Then y not append the the td and trs along with them using stringbuffer. i guess when u would require to prepoulate the same data .It would display the content value neatly. We have used this kinda stuff in our project. like we have a database column where we fill such kinda data - example. Complete<br><input type="checkbox" name="allchkbxcol" onmouseup='doCheckCol(this)' onkeypress='doCheckCol(this)' value='1'> As Craig mentioned I do not much know how efficient this would be. But the resultswe get above are neat enough . 2. Also in terms of text area i remember I had used somewhere wrap='virtual' So that data displays neatly. Chao.

Take a look at String tag library: http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/string-doc/intro.html especially the "string:replace" tag. I used it to put "<BR/>" where line-feeds are. http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/string-doc/string-1.1.0/index.html#rep lace Ciao Antonio --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "This e-mail message may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.
