Question

i have this textarea, that takes the value of a get function transferred from another page,

<textarea name="inputField" value="<?php echo $_GET['replyto'];?>" id="inputField" tabindex="1" rows="2" cols="40"onblur="DoBlur(this);" onfocus="DoFocus(this);" ></textarea>

this is the url link,

http://localhost/final/home.php?replyto=@sam&status_id=2&reply_name=sam

its not inserting @sam in the textbox,
is thier something wrong?

Answer 1

The contents of a <textarea> don’t go into the “value” parameter, they go between <textarea> and </textarea>. Try this:

<textarea name="inputField" id="inputField" tabindex="1" rows="2" cols="40"onblur="DoBlur(this);" onfocus="DoFocus(this);" >
<?php echo $_GET['replyto'];?>
</textarea>
