FlashCONNECT w3htmlTextarea

[sco...@instantdatasystems.com]

Hi,

Does Flashconnect have a call for text areas?

Is it w3htmltextarea? Is it something else?

From what I know of Flashconnect, there is not subroutine provided for a
text area, but that doesn't mean you can't use one. You could put in
your code straight HTML code to create a text area box and pull the
value with w3GetVal

ie:

call w3HtmlInit( 'simple' )
call w3HtmlHeader( '', '')
html ='<h3>Enter name to display</h3><br>':lf
call w3HtmlFormBeg("")
html ='<table><tr>':lf
html:='<td>Name</td></tr><tr>':lf
html:='<td><textarea name="name" rows="10"></td>':lf
html:='<td><input type="submit" value="OK"></td>':lf
html:='</tr></table>':lf
call w3Print(html)
call w3HtmlFormEnd
call w3HtmlFooter( '', '')
call w3Input(err,WAITTIME,'')
if err # w3_OK then
cmd = 'end'
return
end

* Display the name
* ----------------
call w3GetVal(name,'name')

I don't think it does, but you don't need it. You can use
w3Print or w3Printn to embed any HTML statement you want in the
form. It is just that w3HtmlText and w3HtmlSubmit make it a
little easier for those not 100% comfortable with hand-coding
HTML. (Real programmers write HTML with EDLIN ... OH ... I
forgot that dear old ED is not much different from EDLIN!)
