abkaplan Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Our users send passages in to my database using a text area. When I want to re put them on web page in a fmp-field, tabs and blank lines can not be seen as in a text are so the shape of my passage collapses. What can I do to put my text coming from db on my pages as I sent them to database in a text area without using a text area which limits the length of my passage and force my users use scrollers and avoid printing them.

dspires Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 For the text to display on the web, create a calculation field. If the comment field is 'comment', create one called 'comment_html', for instance. It should be a calculation set to: Substitute(comment, "***new paragraph symbol***", "<br>"). In your CDML, the tag will look like: [FMP-field: comment_html, Raw]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
