Hi folks, This seems like it should be simple, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I have a text area called "notes" for users to--appropriately enough--enter notes on a transaction. The notes field carries beautifully across two different forms, allowing the user to append information to the field if they need to when they are viewing the second form. I then want to display the entered text in printable/e-mailable form on the third page. I have discovered the following behaviour, that while understandable is not desirable--at least for what I'm implementing: Form 1: <p><b>Notes:</b><br> <textarea name="notes" wrap="on" cols="80" rows="10"> </textarea></p> Form 2: <p><b>Notes:</b><br> <textarea name="notes" wrap="on" cols="80" rows="10"> <!--#var notes--> </textarea></p> Undesirable behaviour one-- Using this method, I end up with a Python List on the third page. The first item in the list is the text that was entered on the first page, the second item on the list is the text that was entered on both the first and second pages. Undesirable behaviour two-- When I go to display the text using <!--#var notes--> not only do I get both items from the list, but I get untranslated CR/LF pairs. Any solutions to either of these little problems would be greatly appreciated. -- Stand Fast, tjg. ======================= Timothy Grant Red Hat Certified Engineer VP Technology/CTO Avalon Technology Group tjg@avalongroup.net www.avalongroup.net (503) 246-3630 (503) 246-3124 Fax
