Show HTML code generated from a form?

[humbleprogrammer]

Hi,

I have a form that takes a users input and creates an Ad page. It takes info such as background color, text size, color, font, images in add, border color, etc. I then have this form post to a page, which displays what the Ad will look like.

I also have a scrolling text box that I want to display the generated HTML code in. I have it coded so they can click the copy button, which will copy the content to their clipboard. What I am unsure about is what's the best way to display the HTML code in the text box? Do I have to request all the form values and response.write them with the proper HTML tags or is there an easier way?

Thanks!

Yes. If they are not inputting the tags themselves into these form inputs then you will have to write the HTML tags yourself. The tags have to come from somewhere in order to be displayed. Depending on your inputs, though, you should only have to write out strings with beginning tags, the form input, and end tags. So you could have a function that just outputs all the html tags with the appropriate form input data when you call it.
