Formating text for placement in a form

[hallm]

I'm working on a asp that will allow you to edit a record from the database.&nbsp;&nbsp;When my memo fields from the database are put into the asp it only shows the last line of the item.&nbsp;&nbsp;For example I have a story with about eleven lines of text.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I use the following to insert it as the default value of a form it just shows the last line of the text.<br><br>set story = db.execute(&quot;SELECT * FROM news WHERE NewsID=&quot;&request(&quot;strID&quot)<br>longstory = story(&quot;long&quot<br><br>&lt;textarea name=&quot;long&quot; cols=&quot;67&quot; rows=&quot;5&quot; value=&quot;&lt;%=longstory%&gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;<br><br>What am I doing wrong?&nbsp;&nbsp;Do I have to use a special format function just to insert my text into a form box.

Never mind, I figured it out.&nbsp;&nbsp;I just set the html up wrong.&nbsp;&nbsp;Works fine like this.<br><br>&lt;textarea name=&quot;long&quot; cols=&quot;67&quot; rows=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;%=longstory%&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;<br><br><br><br>
