Re: HTML::Template Problem

You're using the 'textarea' tag incorrectly.

You want (I'm guessing on the HTML::Template stuff):

<TEXTAREA NAME="NodeContent" ROWS="100" COLS="20">
<TMPL_VAR NAME=NodeContent>
</TEXTAREA>
[download]

Instead of:

<TEXTAREA COLS=100 ROWS=20 NAME=NodeContent value="<TMPL_VAR NAME=Node
+Content>">
[download]

Here is a link on the syntax for textarea

grep

grep> cd /pub grep> more beer

Oh man. Thanks! I've only stared at that for about 3 hours tonight. It could not have been more glaring. Thanks again! If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.	[reply]

Unless the data in `NodeContent` is already escaped, you should add the `ESCAPE=HTML` attribute to your `TMPL_VAR` tag, so that HTML special chracters such as `<` are escaped. See the HTML::Template documentation and the relevant HTML specification for details. I'd write something like: `<TEXTAREA NAME="NodeContent" ROWS="100" COLS="20"> <!-- TMPL_VAR NAME=NodeContent ESCAPE=HTML --> </TEXTAREA>` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
