<textarea> displays my test in the middle !

[graziaR]

Hi all,

I cannot get to print the text contained in the <textarea></textarea> where it should be, i.e. starting in the upper left corner of the actual text area.
I have tried to remove spaces, tabs, etc. everywhere in my code, but the text gets displayed with a maddening set of tabs before and after within the text area.
My code looks like this:

<% String comment = "This is a comment" %>

<textarea name="standard_test#comments" rows="2" cols="40"
<%= comment %> </textarea>

Anything wrong with my code ?

Many thanks !

G.

Try closing your tag:

<textarea name="standard_test#comments" rows="2" cols="40"[b][COLOR=blue]>[/color][/b]
<%= comment %>                            </textarea>

that code? yes, plenty.

1) this is an HTML forum, not an ASP forum. your code contains ASP.

2) you don't close your opening [tt]<textarea[red]>[/red][/tt] tag.

Actually the textarea tag is closed in my code, I mistyped.

The code works ok in IE6 although the content of the text area is a little unusual.

can you show your REAL code then? what is the REAL value of your ASP variable?
