edit textarea

[durow]

Hi

I used the FileMaker Site Assistant to create a website. I found that if I add a scrollbar to the text field in fmp7 the assistant creates a textarea field instead of a text field. This is exactly what I want. The problem I am having is when I go to edit the textarea field none of the data shows up. The fields that are formated as checkbox or text work correctly but not the textarea fields.

Here is a code snippet generated by the assistant:

skills()

<xsl:for-each select="fmrs:resultset/fmrs:record/fmrs:field[@name='skills']/fmrs:data">

<xsl:if test="position() != 1"><br/></xsl:if>

<textarea cols="50" rows="5">

<xsl:attribute name="name">skills(<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>)</xsl:attribute>

<xsl:value-of select="fmrs:resultset/fmrs:record/fmrs:field[@name='skills']/fmrs:data"/>

Funny, this forum engine interprets your code and shows a textarea! I had to quote it and to remove the td tag to see the code.

The problem is the wrong XPath in your last xsl:value-of line, because it is relative to the XPath in the xsl:for-each select.

So you can replace the <xsl:value-of select="fmrs:resultset/fmrs:record/fmrs:field[@name='skills']/fmrs:data"/> line with <xsl:value-of select="."/>

Actually, if you had translated the XPath in your xsl:value-of statement to an absolute path, you would get probably (have the <xsl:template match="/fmrs:fmresultset"> in mind)

"/fmrs:fmresultset/fmrs:resultset/fmrs:record/fmrs:field[@name='skills']/fmrs:data/fmrs:resultset/fmrs:record/fmrs:field[@name='skills']/fmrs:data"

Even more funny, my answer is shifted to the right.

Thank you!!

So am I to assume that the Site Assistant has an error or am I to do something differently? All I did was push the button

Again thank you.

I am having this same exact problem. When I use <input> fields then it pulls the information fine, but if the fields are <textarea> fields then it does not pull the information.

Sorry did not see the replies. Got it, thanks.
