textarea value

[John B]

I am trying to collect the value of an HTML textarea. The problem I am
having is that I only can get he first line in the textarea.

When a user uses a return/enter at the keyboard, asp won't pick up the
textarea value after the first line of the textarea.

Any suggestions

How are you determining that that is what's happening, and what code are you
using to insert the value and display it then after the fact?

I use the code below to updata the database with the textarea.value
("sugg").
I then open the database in Access and see that it is only updating the
first line.
I am not displaying the data on a page as yet. I will view it through an
Access form.

Thanks for your help,

JB


strconn = "DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb);DBQ=" &
server.MapPath("pagedata.mdb")
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open strconn
Set recset = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
recset.Open "suggest", conn, 2, 2

recset.AddNew
recset("suggestions") = Request.Form("sugg")
recset.Update
recset.MoveLast

Set conn = nothing
Set recset = nothing

Are you sure it's not just that the Access form is only displaying one line?
Look in the table itself and increase the height of your eyes to be sure.

It's not textarea.value. It's textarea.innerHTML. Perhaps showing your
form would help?!

Ok, strike that. It appears textarea.value also works even though there is
no value= for textarea. *throws hands in the air* My example still works
but apparently your error is somewhere else.

To supply default text for the text area, put it inside the TEXTAREA tag.
You may not use markup for this default value.

You are using an Access database. What do you have the field properties set
to? If text, the field won't accept any more characters than the field is
setup to accept. The default is 50, maximum is 250. If you are not already
doing so, I would suggest that you set the field to memo, instead of text.
