Do you mean an HTML textarea input field? If so: `#!perl use warnings; use strict; use CGI qw(:all); use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); my $textarea_value = parm($textarea_field_name); # ...` [download] If you mean something else, please tell us what it is.	[reply] [d/l]

`my $textarea_value = parm($textarea_field_name);` [download] should probably be `my $textarea_value = param($textarea_field_name); #or (in all probability) if you know the textarea name beforehand my $textarea_value = param('textarea_field_name');` [download] Manav	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Post good questions ASAP. Please! Again, we are to guess what exactly is the problem. What have you tried so far? It's nice that others are having a guess to what you are asking, but IMHO it is more helpfull to let people help themself, by providing guidance, asking back the the right questions and commenting on what they have coded so far.
