I have an editable form that when the value is called from database it will only display the first word in the text input field. If I change it to a textarea, or when it is called anywhere else on the site it displays correctly. I haven't come across this problem before. Does anyone know what might be causing it?

a couple of possible problems:
1. you are not quoting the value in the text box
without the quotes the value will stop after the first space
2. your db values contain carriage returns. if so strip em out first.
item 1 is far more likely.
