Whitespace in lines property
Can anyone tell me why when I edit a lines property I get leading whitespace inserted? The first line gets seven & each one after that gets 10 spaces. I tried stripping it out but this didn't seem to have any effect. ... <textarea name="alt_names:lines" rows="10" cols="50" > <dtml-in alt_names> <dtml-let cur_item=sequence-item> <dtml-var "_.string.strip(cur_item)"> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> </textarea> ...

Well, "realize something NEW everyday!" It never crossed my mind that the space between my code elements would be rendered. DUH! Thanks, -- Tim Cook -- FreePM Project Coordinator http://www.freepm.org OS Health Care Alliance Supporter http://www.oshca.org

Hehe ;) I'm currently playing with a clean-up tag, to remove whitespaces/empty lines in code. May be I release it, if its fully done. Stay tuned ;-) Regards Tino

I used to get bitten an awful lot by doing: <dtml-if> <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-else> <dtml-var other_header> </dtml-if> This would cause the spaces to appear _before_ the header information and actually just come up with error messages. Took me some very frustrating hours to realise I just had to get rid of the spaces and format things really badly to fix it.
