Pretty sure <textarea> does not have a "value" attribute.
What are you trying to do?

You do it this way:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <textarea name="quest" id="quest" rows="10" cols="100">gggg</textarea>
With the "value" inside the textare-element (between the tags).

I'm trying to design an HTML page that can edit itself. In essence, it's just like a Wiki page, but my own very simple version. It's a page full of plain old HTML content, and then at the bottom, there's an "Edit" link. So the page itself looks something like this: <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>blah</TITLE></HEAD><BODY> <!-- TEXT STARTS HERE --> <H1>Hello World!</H1> <P>More stuff here...</P>

The w3schools HTML tag reference for <textarea> http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_textarea.asp says that the attributes 'cols' and 'rows' are REQUIRED attributes for the textarea tag. Looking at the HTML 4.01 specification I see this, too. What I'm wondering is - 'cols' & 'rows' determines the height & width of a textarea. So shouldn't that be something that is handled by CSS instead? What would be the practical consequence of leaving...

I'm working on a form to collect data in a textarea which and am trying to keep returns and spaces. I have a couple of functions that I Frankensteined together to replace returns with <br> and to replace spaces with &nbsp;. The <br> part works well enough, but I keep getting "%20" instead of "&nbsp;" for the spaces. I understand that escape() changes " " to "%20", but I would think the ConvertSpaces function below would change the %20 to...

I need to emulate the missing "maxlegth" attribute in "textarea" fields but all my Google searches either lead to obsolete scripts that overwrite the "value" property (thus losing caret position) or to complex solutions that work on top of specific frameworks. Do you have some reference on how to do it? I'd like to make it work in at least Firefox and IE 6 and 7. Thank you in advance,

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
