Hi i would like to have some pre-inserted text (almost template style)in the text box when a user either replys to or creates a new topic i have managed to edit the post.asp and insert text into the text area for everyone but i would like to seperate the text with carriage returns so that each pre-inserted heading starts on new line, so i guess what i'm asking is how to insert carriage returns in the text box?
thanks as always in advance for any help |

There was something like this for v3.3.x which would allow members to add their own custom headers and footers to all their messages. For example, all my posts here are in black so I could set my profile so that [black] was added to the beginning of all my posts and [/black] to then end, which would save a bit iof typing. If I remember correctly, Image was the author so it might be worth having a look at his site.
To answer your question though, use vbCrLf to insert line breaks in the textarea. E.G.:
Response.Write "<textarea>header" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "footer"</textarea>"

sorry i didn't understand your example (bit of thicky sorry) can you do it using this code i'm trying to put a line break in between situation: class/time/location: action
so it looks like this
situation:
class/time/location:
action:
<textarea cols=""" & intCols & """ name=""Message"" rows=""" & intRows & """ wrap=""VIRTUAL"" onselect=""storeCaret(this);"" onclick=""storeCaret(this);"" onkeyup=""storeCaret(this);"" onchange=""storeCaret(this);"">" & Trim(CleanCode(TxtMsg)) & "Situation: Class/Time/Location: Action:</textarea> |

Uraken, check Steve D.'s Event Add On.:
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=41216&SearchTerms=Steve,D,Event,Add,On
It shows how to insert an editable field which gets added to the messagetext in post_info.asp.
I did it in our intranet site, and it works as a charm.
The enters are added by merging the messagetext :
from post_info.asp:
if Len(Request.Form("handover_contractname")) > 1 then
HandoverInfo = HandoverInfo & "Contract : " & Request.Form("handover_contractname") & vbNewLine
end if
The vbNewline creates a new line.
Good luck! |
