Hi CodeChargers,
I have a problem with TEXTAREA fields and their formatting; I'm writing a
little page that should send a mail message; I need to print out the content
of TEXTAREA fields to an HTML page and mail the content as text body, in
both cases formatting properly the body of the message; I would need to
generate the form with <TEXTAREA WRAP=phisical> (which is not the default)
and, in the first case, if I need to print the content to an HTML page, I
need to translate all newline or carriage returns to <BR>; in the second
case I should transform those characters to \n.
Is it right, or am I missing something ??? How can I change the way
<TEXTAREA> commands are generated ?? the default is WRAP=OFF.
Do you have any suggestions ??
Thanks to all who will help me.....
Matteo Ferrari

Matteo,
To display "memo" type fields entered by users in grid/record forms, I have
simply used something found in one of the examples in the Before Show event:
fldYourField = replace(fldYourField,vbCRLF,"<br>")
To send data output in Email: (I use JMail but CDONTS should be similar.)
I built an HTML table (to let me put the data fields in specific areas of
the table (essentially creating a report form), broke the table up
line-by-line, then used Msg.AppendHTML to add each "HTML code" line to the
email. Formatting, then, is a result of how you structured the HTML table.
When building the HTML table (outside of CC in HomeSite) I simply inserted
text into each cell that I could later identify (like PUT_NAME_FIELD HERE or
PUT_MEMO_FIELD_HERE) to make it easy after I pasted it into the After Insert
Event (or other based on what you are doing.
....
msg.ContentType = "text/html"
msg.HTMLBody="<html><head><title>REGISTRATION REQUEST</title></head><body>"
msg.AppendHTML "<table border=""1"" width=""100%"">"
msg.AppendHTML "<tr>"
msg.AppendHTML "<td width=""100%"" align=""center"" colspan=""5"">"
msg.AppendHTML "<p><font size=""5"">HAPPY TRAILS</font><br><font
size=""3"">EMAIL REGISTRATION REQUEST FORM</font></td>"
msg.AppendHTML "</tr>"
msg.AppendHTML "<tr>"
msg.AppendHTML "<td width=""400"">"
msg.AppendHTML "<p><font size=""1"">APPLICANT</font><br><b>" & fldpREGNAME
msg.AppendHTML "</b></td>"
msg.AppendHTML "<td width=""80"">"
msg.AppendHTML "<p><font size=""1"">AGE</font><br><b>" & fldpREGAGE
msg.AppendHTML "</b></td>"
.....
and so on...many of the appended lines could have been combined...I left it
like I see it in the web page just for easy correction, etc.
Works For Me

If you're using PHP you can use nl2br() function.
