TextArea Issue

Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 1:00 pm

Hello, i have a small issue on my 7.8 install, no patches..i know...i know Wink

. I know there has been previous post on textareas but i have not seen one that completely fits my problem. The issue is that i will use the standard editor that comes with nuke for textareas and for some reason it will make the inner typable box way smaller than the outter box. So now ive got inches of grey space and tiny space to actually type in. Previous post seem to deal wih the opposite problem. I like the tinymce editor (sp?) b/c of its extra tools and would like to solve this problem...here is an example:

Code:

echo "Content:</td></tr><tr><td colspan=2><textarea rows=15 columns=70 name=content></textarea>";

Thanks for the help.

well if the code you posted is for real then its obvious that it is that small.
change it to..
</td></tr><tr><td colspan=2><textarea rows=15 columns=70 name=content cols="65"></textarea>

Alright, dragging this up again because its the same result but not the same cause (as in using columns instead of cols)...check out the following:

Right-click view source:

Code:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">


  <tr>


    <td><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">


        <tr>


          <td bgcolor="#A9B8C2"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">


              <tr>


                <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">


                    <tr>


                      <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">


                          <tr>


                            <td>


<div id='show_full_product' style="display: block;"><br><a href="javascript: expandCollapse('display_full_product', 'show_full_product');"><u>- New Normal Product -</u></a></div>





<div id='display_full_product' style="display: none;"><a href="javascript: expandCollapse('display_full_product', 'show_full_product');"><u>- Hide New Product Form -</u></a><br>





<table border=0 width="100%"><form name=full_product enctype="multipart/form-data" action="admin.php?op=xxxxxx" method="Post">


<tr><td>Product ID:</td><td><input type=text name="product_id" value=''></td></tr>


<input type=hidden name="db_id" value="">


<tr><td>Product Name:</td><td><input type=text name="product_name" value=''></td></tr>


<tr><td>Product Category:</td><td><select name="category_id">


   <option value='1' >Kits & Sets


   <option value='2' >Just Wikki Stix


   <option value='3' >Party Fun


   <option value='4' >Educational


   <option value='5' >Religious


   <option value='6' >Holiday - Seasonal


   <option value='7' >Books</select></td></tr>


<tr><td>Product Title:</td><td><input type=text name="product_title" value=''></td></tr>


<tr><td>Product Price:</td><td><input type=text name="product_price" value=''></td></tr>





<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="200000">


<tr><td>Product Image (Big):</td><td><input type="file" name="product_image_big" value='' size=30></td></tr>


<tr><td>Product Image (Small):</td><td><input type="file" name="product_image_small" value='' size=30></td></tr><tr><td>Product Qty:</td><td><input type=text name="product_qty" value=""></td></tr>


<tr><td>Case Qty:</td><td><input type=text name="case_qty" value=''></td></tr>


<tr><td>Case Price:</td><td><input type=text name="case_price" value=''></td></tr>


<tr><td valign=top>Product Description:</td><td><textarea rows="30" cols="80" name="product_desc"></textarea></td></tr>


<input type=hidden name=action value="add"><input type=hidden name=product_type value="normal_product">


<tr><td><input type=submit value="Add New Product" name="new_product"></td></tr>


</form>


</table>


</div>


</td></tr>


</td></tr>


</table></td>


</tr>


</table></td>


</tr>


</table></td>


</tr>


</table>

I apologize for the lack of readability, i tried to put some appropiate carriage returns.

PHP Code:

Code:

   echo "<div id='show_full_product' style=\"display: block;\">";


      echo "<br><a href=\"javascript: expandCollapse('display_full_product', 'show_full_product');\"><u>- New Normal Product -</u></a>";


      echo "</div>";


      echo "<div id='display_full_product' style=\"display: none;\">";


      echo "<a href=\"javascript: expandCollapse('display_full_product', 'show_full_product');\"><u>- Hide New Product Form -</u></a><br>";


      echo "<table border=0 width=\"100%\">";


      echo "<form name=full_product enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"admin.php?op=wikki_confirm_product\" method=\"Post\">";         


         echo "<tr><td>Product ID:</td><td><input type=text name=\"product_id\" value='".$data_set['product_id']."'></td></tr>";


         echo "<input type=hidden name=\"db_id\" value=\"$db_id\">";


         echo "<tr><td>Product Name:</td><td><input type=text name=\"product_name\" value='".$data_set['product_name']."'></td></tr>";


         echo "<tr><td>Product Category:</td><td><select name=\"category_id\">";


            while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {


               $selected = "";


               if ($row['category_id'] == $data_set['category_id']) {


                  $selected = "SELECTED";


               }


               echo "<option value='".$row['category_id']."' $selected>".$row['category_title']."";


            }


         echo "</select></td></tr>";


         echo "<tr><td>Product Title:</td><td><input type=text name=\"product_title\" value='".$data_set['product_title']."'></td></tr>";


         echo "<tr><td>Product Price:</td><td><input type=text name=\"product_price\" value='".$data_set['price']."'></td></tr>";


         echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"hidden\" name=\"MAX_FILE_SIZE\" value=\"200000\">";


         echo "<tr><td>Product Image (Big):</td><td><input type=\"file\" name=\"product_image_big\" value='' size=30>";


         if ($db_id) {


               echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href='modules/Wikki_Product_Catalog/product_images/".$data_set['product_image_big']."' target='_new'>click for image</a></td></tr>";


         }


         else {


            echo "</td></tr>";


         }


         echo "<tr><td>Product Image (Small):</td><td><input type=\"file\" name=\"product_image_small\" value='' size=30>";


            if ($db_id) {


               echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href='modules/Wikki_Product_Catalog/product_images/".$data_set['product_image_small']."' target='_new'>click for image</a></td></tr>";


            }


         else {


            echo "</td></tr>";


         }


         echo "<tr><td>Product Qty:</td><td><input type=text name=\"product_qty\" value=\"$product_qty\"></td></tr>";


         echo "<tr><td>Case Qty:</td><td><input type=text name=\"case_qty\" value='".$data_set['case_qty']."'></td></tr>";


         echo "<tr><td>Case Price:</td><td><input type=text name=\"case_price\" value='".$data_set['case_price']."'></td></tr>";


         


         echo "<tr><td valign=top>Product Description:</td><td><textarea rows=\"30\" cols=\"80\" name=\"product_desc\">".$data_set['product_desc']."</textarea></td></tr>";


         


         echo "<input type=hidden name=action value=\"$action\">";


         echo "<input type=hidden name=product_type value=\"normal_product\">";


         echo "<tr><td><input type=submit value=\"$submit\" name=\"new_product\"></td></tr>";


         echo "</form>";


         echo "</table>";


         echo "</div>";


   echo "</td></tr>";

And the end result is the same thing as i posted earlier in date. Any ideas? Thanks.

I apologize, i forgot i killed the domain for the image i posted previously. Its back up...the grey space is the problem, not the size. Before i was putting "columns" rather than "cols" but now it doesnt matter. The code i posted is how i have it in php and what the source looks like when outputted to html. When i take the same <textarea....></textarea> and i move outside the whole table and form to be by iteself it works fine...not sure as also randomly some of the button images for the editor functions dont show...heres a new image:

As you can see, too much grey area and button images are randomly missing. Ive looked at the form and table code and i must be missing something as to why its doing this. Anyone else?

well buttons randomly missing etc...doesnt mean a design flaw.
this sounds like there's more wrong....
hard to tell without seeing the real thing...
