Hi, I have come across a strange problem. I have created a Zope application to collect information through a Zope form. The input form works. I also give the users the ability to update. But I notice something strange. <tr> <td width="27%">Item Number Required:</td> <td width="73%"> <input type="text" name="item_num_required" size="50" value=<dtml-var item_num_required>> </td> </tr> When get the record only the first word in the field will appear. But if I use this - <tr> <td width="27%">Part Number Required:</td> <td width="73%"> <textarea name="part_num_required" rows="1" cols="50"><dtml-var part_num_required> </textarea> </td> </tr> I see the entire field using this method. Any thoughts?? Larry McDonnell Proton Energy Systems 50 Inwood Rd. Rocky Hill, CT 06067 (860) 571-6533 ext. 531 Email:lmcdonnell@protonenergy.com www.protonenergy.com
