Multiline Textbox

[PeteCan]

I am using a textbox to show data extracted from the database, the code takes the format of:

<Input name=&quot;IncResolution&quot; value=&quot;<%=objRS.Fields(&quot;IncResolution&quot.value%>&quot;<%=UpdateMode%> style=&quot;HEIGHT: 68px; WIDTH: 496px&quot;></td>

However the text does not wrap around and is just displayed on the one line.
How do I make it Multiline so it wraps?

try this
this will break it into two lines

<Input name=&quot;IncResolution&quot; value=&quot;<%=objRS.Fields(&quot;IncResolution&quot.value%>&quot;<% lft = len(UpdateMode)
Response.write(Left(lft,UpdateMode) & &quot;<br>&quot
Response.write(Right(lft,UpdateMode))%> style=&quot;HEIGHT: 68px; WIDTH: 496px&quot;></td>

if you are not sure of how big the line is , take an arbitrary length of characters per line and add a &quot;<br>&quot; to updatemode after a certain amount of characters

Why not use a textarea???

<textarea name=&quot;IncResolution&quot; style=&quot;HEIGHT: 68px; WIDTH: 496px&quot; <%=UpdateMode%>><%=objRS(&quot;incResolution&quot%></textarea> Get the Best Answers! faq333-2924

I would say the answer wouldn't be beter then mwolf's here also. That is what the textarea form field is for. you can also use a bit of css to take out the overflow etc.. but it seems kind of rediculous to try and use a text box for something that should be a textarea _______________________________________________
_{{ str = &quot;sleep is good for you. sleep gives you the energy you need to function&quot;;
ptr = /sleep/gi;Nstr = str.replace(ptr,&quot;coffee&quot;alert(Nstr); }}
