Hey how are you guys?
Well I have a little question.
How can I add predefined text to this textarea? :S .
Thanks in advanced :D. - <tr>
-
<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" class="infoBox">
-
<tr class="infoBoxContents">
-
<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
-
<tr>
-
<td><?php echo tep_draw_textarea_field('comments', 'soft', '60', '5', $comments); ?></td>
-
</tr>
-
</table></td>
-
</tr>
-
</table></td>
-
</tr>

Reason: Changed [quote] tags to [code] tags.

Hi.
Is that function meant to create your textarea?
If so, you would have to edit that function.
You could simply add a parameter for the predefined text, and have it added when the function prints the textarea.

Hrmm, okay I see.
You think the function could be <tr class="infoBoxContents"> by any chance?
And thanks for replying so fast!

Nope, that would be the top of a table row :)
The function I suspect is creating your textarea is tep_draw_textarea_field.
Do you have that anywhere?
In any case, a simpler, albeit less elegant, way to do this would be to just put the textarea into a PHP variable before echoing it and injecting your text.
Somewhat like: -
<?php
-
// The text that should be added
-
$predefinedText = "Hello, this is some text to inject into the textarea.\n\n";
-
-
$originalArea = tep_draw_textarea_field('comments', 'soft', '60', '5', $comments);
-
echo preg_replace('/(<textarea[^>]*>)/i', '$1'.$predefinedText, $originalArea);
-
?>
