Problem with textarea

[rkeppert]

For some reason, the page is showing the textarea box, but is not putting the value into it from the db....

Every other text input on the page works just fine....

   echo '<td colspan="5">','<textarea name="notes" id="notes" cols="135" rows="5" onChange="javascript:this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();" onKeyUp="textCounter(this,\'progressbar1\',5000)" onClick="highlight(event)" onKeyDown="textCounter(this,\'progressbar1\',5000)" onFocus="textCounter(this,\'progressbar1\',5000)" value="'.htmlentities($row['notes'], ENT_QUOTES).'"></textarea>','</td>';   

Thanks.

You should be printing the text area value into the text area, not attempting to set a value attribute.

Text areas are of the form:

<textarea>Some text here!</textarea>

not:

<textarea value="Some text here!"></textarea>

I still can't seem to get it to work correctly...

   echo '<td colspan="5">','<textarea name="notes" id="notes" cols="135" rows="5" onChange="javascript:this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();" onKeyUp="textCounter(this,\'progressbar1\',5000)" onClick="highlight(event)" onKeyDown="textCounter(this,\'progressbar1\',5000)" onFocus="textCounter(this,\'progressbar1\',5000)"> .htmlentities($row['notes'], ENT_QUOTES). </textarea>','</td>';

The code you posted has a parse error (easily spotted if you would have posted using the [PHP] bbcode tags); you're missing the single quotes (the string delimiters you used) before and after the htmlentities() function.
