Hello *all*,
i was wondering how you would type into a div just like typing into a textarea, the reson i wont to use a div as you can use html inside the div, with textareas you cant do that.

Many thanks deltacode

you can type straight into the div like normal, eg:



that would style all text in that div, you can style different section also



or

i think he wants it to look like a textbox?

then all he needs is to add a border

no no no. i mean act like a textarea. like have it on a page, and get users to type stuff into it. bt i dont think thats possible, is it?

ahh, ok that's easily done also



sorry missed it again, no can't use html inside textarea, can style it though

You can write HTML tags into a textarea... The only problem you could possibly have is with a closing textarea tag ( </textarea> ) and only then if it is used in the default textarea value when the document is parsed... In which case you would need to convert the opening and closing carets to their respective ASCII equivelents ( &gt; and &lt; ) to compensate for this... BUT WRITING HTML into an already existing textarea would have no affect upon it simply because the textarea has already been parsed and has closed itself properly, not prematurely as a default value which includes a closing textarea tag would do...

However, here is an example of an editable division...
Style it any way you choose, I merely am demonstrating some style...

BTW: I would like to suggest that Leo modify the divisions which this board uses to display quote tags so that I could have the ability to more easily edit someones post to suit my particular needs whenever I am quoting them or taking screen shots to be used against them at a later date...

Thanks in advance;

so you can do that too! cool. thanks for the enlightnement Willy!
