Putting text in a text area Can't Post
I have a script generated form with many input boxes and I fill them with the VALUE=$DATA command but this does not seem to work with a TEXTAREA what am I doing wrong please?

><TEXTAREA COLS=\"36\" ROWS=\"4\" WRAP=\"virtual\" NAME=\"Total\" TEXT=$data></TEXTAREA>

You just need to place the $data after the end of the <TEXTAREA> and before de </TEXTAREA>

Example:<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR>

<TEXTAREA COLS=\"36\" ROWS=\"4\" WRAP=\"virtual\" NAME=\"Total\" >$data</TEXTAREA></pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I think that should do it. If you want more information about forms, check the Forms Quick Reference of WDVL.
