re-enter form field values for TEXTAREA

[braven]

I've been able to make my forms re-fill the fields after one is kicked out for entering the wrong Image Verification.. all except for the Textarea field.

Is the Textarea field different in this regard?

In this case, we are using the form to collect Testimonials.. so if someone just spent a lot of time singing our praises, and that info is lost when they enter the wrong image verification, they may just go away mad... lol

Thanks!

Hi Billie,

Haha, no kidding - kind of important...

But no, there's nothing special that needs to be done with textareas - except that with textareas, the default content appears WITHIN the tag, not within a value attribute. e.g.

Code:

<textarea name="thefield"><?php echo $fields["thefield"]; ?></textarea>

Something like that doesn't work for you?
