Tom,
I have a HTML Form which accepts a research statment (this is formatted HTML) if i store a </textarea> tag in it. It breaks when i want to edit my data. because of the </textarea> tag. How can i avoid this.
----
procedure biopage(
pnid number default null
)
is
--
cursor c_data (pnid number) is
select firstname, lastname, research_statement
from biotable
where bioid = pnid;
--
mv_firstname varchar2(255);
mv_lastname varchar2(255);
mv_stmt varchar2(4000);
--
begin
--
if pnid is not null then
for i in c_data(pnid) loop
mv_firstname := i.firstname;
mv_lastname := i.lastname;
mv_stmt := i.research_statement;
end loop;
end if;
--
htp.htmlopen;
htp.headopen;
htp.title('Bio Page'));
htp.headclose;
htp.bodyopen;
--
htp.p('<form name="bioform" method="post" action="biopagepost">');
--
htp.p('<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">');
--
htp.p('<tr>');
htp.p('<td colspan="2" align="right">');
htp.p('<input type="submit" value="Submit">');
htp.p('<input type="reset" value="Reset">');
htp.p('<input type="button" value="Close" onclick="window.close()";>');
htp.p('</td>');
htp.p('</tr>');

htp.p('<input type=hidden name="bioid" value="'||pnid||'">');

htp.p('<tr>');
htp.p('<td class="formlabel">First Name:</td>');
htp.p('<td><input type=text name="pv_fn" value="'||mv_firstname||'"></td>');
htp.p('</tr>');
