Martijn, Thank you very much. Just as you said, there was a space in between openning and closing tags, but the reason I missed it was because I had indented like the following: _<textarea name="var"> _</textarea> since it was part of an if tag block. So I changed it like the following: _<textarea name="var"></textarea> Anyway, thanks again. I will pay much closer attention to how I format my code in the future. Cheers.

It appears that the text input field I have created using a dtml method has a default space character when you click in the field. Is there a way to get rid of this?
Depends on the HTML used; this is really a HTML question more than a DTML question.
If this is a textarea, make sure there are no spaces between the opening and closing tags:
<textarea ..attrs..></textarea>
or, if you fill the textarea from with a dtml attribute, eliminate the spaces there too:
<textarea ..attrs..>&dtml-variablename;</textarea>
If you need multiple lines to avoid excessive wrapping or scrolling, put the angle brackets on a new line to eliminate whitespace (newlines are whitespace too!):
<textarea ..attrs..
<dtml-var expression_or_variable ..attrs.. </textarea>
If you used an input tag, the same applies, but now to whitespace between the quotes of the value attribute.
