correct syntax for memo field on website form

[Raphael Gluck]

Hi,

I'm creating a website based on one of those awful generator WSYWYG editors,
A site in ASP and VBscript,
Now i've created a page to post feed back to a table in my database, I
created a Textarea for users to provide comments, but then when it came to
defining what kind of field it is, all i am offered is , text, number,
checkbox etc.. but not a memo field.
If I select text, which i did, then filling out some form data in my
"comments" field, just returned a "true" when i tested and checked my DB.

So what do hand coders use? what is the correct syntax to call a textarea on
a webpage form, that updates a memo field in a database.

Please help me

Thanks

I'm not sure where it is that you need to define this, but you'd just do:

<textarea name="whatever"></textarea>

And then on the page that processes it, just treat it like any other text
form field.

Request.Form("whatever")

Hi Again, Ray
That is what i did initially, trying to get away with a text field, but it
didnt help.
Is your original code
Request.Form("whatever")

still valid? can i somehow put that somewhere?

That says a lot about people who use WSYWYG like me, and perhaps also about
the people who create this kind of software, and how they market it.

Anyways, soon i'm done with this little project and i intent to work through
a course on asp.net, throughly

It appears that you could add it to the MM_fieldsStr line using the same
pattern that is currently being used, and you'd then have to do the same
thing for the columns. Look at the patterns in those lines and just follow
suit.
