MVC :: Html.TextArea - Extra Line Break In The TextArea, Just Above The Original Text?
Jul 15, 2010
I'm working with an MVC1.0 web app and I've found a bit of an odd anomaly.
I have a search box on the first page (normal text box) and the input from this is passed through to the ViewData and on to the second page.
On the second page, I render a TextArea with this search input text from the ViewData.
Eg:
[Code]....
The problem is, there is an extra line break in the TextArea, just above the original text.
Stranger still is that if I now submit this page and the view is reloaded (after validation fails) - the original string of text has been trimmed and has no line breaks, but the TextArea now has 2 line breaks above the original text.
This can be repeated - every time the page reloads it has another line break.
It's driving me insane - does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
FYI, you can check it out yourself - on your mobile phone, browse to [URL], punch something in the search box and hit search. You'll notice one line break added the first time the page loads. Then just hit "Find Best Offer" without entering a budget or selecting a category, and you'll see what I mean about the additional line breaks.
Is there something fairly simple, even with javascript, to replace a line break in a text area with a <br /> when it gets submitted to a database? Right now I have a button that just will add in the tag to do it, but I'd much rather have it be automated to make the user less hassled to put that in themsevles. That, and it would make things just that much faster.
Even if there was something to put each section in a <p> tag, but that's not entirely necessary, the <br /> seems like it would be the easier method.
I'm using MS SQL server and c# if that makes a difference.
If I have a variable that contains text information (say taken from a textarea), how can I read the text content held in a string variable line by line?
The text entered in the text area will have (enter key) to separate the line.
I'm using MVC, and i'm building my own basic blogging engine. I need to be able to allow HTML input to be submitted to the server so it can be added to a database. I only want HTML input allowed in that textarea alone, but I still want my other validation like StringLength etc. How could I do this?
I have a WYSIWYG editor set up using ASP.NET MVC. When I post, everything is fine, however when I post and there is an error when the page comes back and shows the errors, the value in the textbox is messed up (it has become un-HTML Encoded) and for form validation reasons, this is fine. My question is this - how, in the controller (preferably), can I change the value of the text in the textarea? Even if I use a ViewData["fieldname"] and set the asp code to:
<%= Html.TextArea("fieldname", ViewData["fieldname"], new { id = "fieldthing", name = "fieldthing", cols = "80", rows = "10" })%>
It still doesn't work because that ViewData is the default value which, after the post, isn't returned to that value, it stays whatever was typed.
So any thoughts on how to edit this value? I tried passing in a new view, but that didn't work either.
i have a master page and one content page. In content page i have a textarea for get value from user. i don't want to make it asp control using add runat = server. without adding runat server i want to get value of textarea in a string variable which is defined in code behind file of my page using c#
In short i want to get value of Html control in code behind file using c#
I have a form with several textarea elements. User enters data and submits the form. On the next page it shows submitted text as static text - in p tags. Obviously New Line and multiple paces get ignored and everything just shows in one line. I can do some preprocessing like replacing New line characters with "br/" and spaces with . but I was wondering if there is a standard solution to that either on server side (C#) or client side (javascript)
I Have a asp.net page with textarea. I am getting data from database and putting it in the textarea. I wanted to grow textarea to expand depending upon the text without scrollbars. I could I achieve this in my asp.net page.
Is it possible to use Basic HTML TextArea for RichText Editing?If not, what benefit we have out of using TextArea instead of TextBox?I DO NOT want any third party editors. Looking for some option available by default in ASP.NET or HTML.
I need to find a way to accurately calculate the byte size of the text inside a particular textarea. I am working in .Net so I have access to those libraries, but I'd prefer a Javascript solution. How many bytes is each character worth? What would be the most efficient way to count and multiply? Or am I missing a better way entirely?
Edit: I'm attempting to determine the download size of a piece of Javascript that has been pasted into a textarea. The closest thing I could find to this is ][URL]. I don't want to just lift their code, especially since I don't fully understand it.
For some reason I can't get an ajax post action to work if the text inside an textarea contains HTML. In the text area I am entering <h1>test</h1>, when I do that, I can click on the Save button all day if I want, nothing happens. Not sure whats causing this, but it also appears to do it if I don't use the ajax form and just a standard html form.
Here is the code for the controller:
[Code]....
Here is the code for AjaxForm:

And here is how I am putting the control on the form:
I am developing SMS portal in asp.net c# where people register & send sms.I M Using multiline asp:textbox for input message. i want to break line where user hit enter/new line in textbox. if there any textboxeditor which support only <br/>.
I have a header section in my css file and am trying to have a h1 title in in with a text box just to the right of the title (a bit like on sites like amazon and play, except using a piece of text for the title, rather than an image logo).
By default, if I use an h1 tag, it will insert a line break and cause the text box to appear below the title. I've tried using a span tag with class h1, but that doesn't work (I don't know if this is because h1 isn't considered a class in the same way that the classes prefixed with a dot in the css file are).
What is the best way to have the title text have the same style as the relevant h1 tag, but not have the associated line break?
