SID-02093: Textarea

I am trying to build an application and the form has several textarea fields. I can not get anything to show up with a multi line field. Even when I take the default and put nothing in the size I see only one line rather than the 40x5 default.

Discussion and Answer

Not sure what is wrong. I created this test form and it works as expected:

%STARTFORM{
  name="test"
  action="view"
}%
%FORMELEMENT{
  name="textarea1"
  type="textarea"
  title="Textarea 1:"
  rows="5"
  cols="80"
  value="%URLPARAM{ "textarea1" encode="html" }%"
}%
%FORMELEMENT{
  name="textarea2"
  type="textarea"
  title="Textarea 2:"
  rows="5"
  cols="80"
  value="%URLPARAM{ "textarea2" encode="html" }%"
}%
%FORMELEMENT{
  name="action"
  type="submit"
  default="Submit"
}%
%ENDFORM%
