Author Formatting in Text Area
VanBuskirk, Patricia

2008-02-01, 8:11 am

I have a "customer description" text area field on my form which feeds =
through php to FMP, and spits out a confirmation page and email. The =
issue I am having is this ... as the customer types, the text wraps. =
Many put their own hard returns and spaces in to organize their =
description. It seems I can't get it to do both the wrap and show the =
actual formatting entered. If I format the field as physical wrap, the =
lines run off the page on the confirmation/printout. If I format it as =
virtual, then the hard returns, etc get lost. I have also tried using =
<PRE> on the confirmation page and email and that doesn't work either.

Hmmm... scratching head!
