Textarea

Eal

I am having a wiered problem. I have a form and one of the field is a texarea. However, whenever I run my script, I get acception!

When I take those two lines out, it works just fine!

Description :
<BR><TEXTAREA NAME="description" ROWS=5 COLS=42 WRAP></TEXTAREA>

I must also add that it does not give me exception when I load the page, I get the exception, when I get to the point where I begin to see the text area.

I also have some java script in the same page, not sure if it is relevant.

Please help!

Your missing something.
wrap=soft
wrap=hard
Dunno if it means anything tho.

I doubt it is a problem with the html.
Also, wrap is not a valid attribute of textarea (anymore).

Could you describe your problem more clearly, e.g. are you using header() or cookie() ?

When you receive an exception, I am assuming you mean a JavaScript Browser Exception error. I am also wondering what exactly you mean by acception, a JavaScript onSubmit function? Anyway, if my first assumption is correct, JavaScript will stop functioning on that page. If you client-side validate their entry, this could be why the form sees no problem since nothing actually gets checked.

State the exception you get and it will help

Thanks for your reply. The exception that I am getting is that, "explorer has caused an error in mshtml.dll." I also get this error when I am using a text editor and preview the results. However, I dont get any error message in Netscape or when I do not have text area field in the form.

I get that error message when I scroll it down so that I can see it on the screen. Till I do not see it, I do not get exception. I also changed the location of the text field, so that it is at the very top, and in that case, i get the error message on loading the page.

Therefore, I get an exception, before submitting any thing.

Thanks!

Do you ever use the JavaScript removeNode()? - it has a known problem. It may just be a problem with Internet Explorer and you may want to update it. Can you respond with the JavaScript code you use?
