Topic: Textarea snafoo (Page 1 of 1)

I'm attempting to make a body field for a user to write into and post with. Naturally I picked a textarea input type, but the textarea is coming out incorrect. I set it for 10 rows and 30 columns (still haven't decided on final setup, but that's moot for the purpose of this issue), but the page loads up a textarea field with 1 row and less than 30 columns.

<table cellspacing=2 cellpadding=2>

         <tr>

           <td valign=top>

             Name:<p>

             Subject:<p>

             Body:

           </td>

           <td>

             <form action='postboard.php'>

               <input type=text name='name' size=30><p>

               <input type=text name='subject' size=30><p>

               <input type=textarea name='body' rows=10 cols=30></textarea><p>

               <input type=submit name='post' value='Submit'>

             </form>

          </td>

        </tr>

      </table>

typo:

<input type=textarea name='body' rows=10 cols=30></textarea>

try:

<textarea name='body' rows=10 cols=30></textarea><

Use this:
<textarea name='body' rows='10' cols='30'></textarea>

Beat to the punch

Oh damn! I can't believe I missed something so obvious. Don't tell norm about this.. he'd kill me.

Thanks to both of you.

Naaa......If I went ahead and killed you I would have to finish your task myself. Nope, you're not getting off that easy!

/* Sure, go ahead and code in your fancy IDE. Just remember: it's all fun and games until someone puts an $i out */

Oh, and it's Snafu, not Snafoo... it stands for 'Situation Normal: All Fucked Up'
