Since your browser does not support JavaScript, you don't see any navigational toolbars above. For now, please use the navigational links offered at the bottom of each page. We are working on a better solution.

TextAreaFormat Example

This pair of pages shows you the effect of (and problems with) trying to display textarea field input (or data that comes from a database) where spaces, line breaks, and tabs must be preserved on display. When you submit this page, you will see the data below rendered:

With no special processing (which will look bad if the textarea field has blanks lines, spaces, and/or tabs
With basic formatting made available with the HTML <pre>tag
With basic formatting made available with the CF paragraphformat function
With perfectly rendered formatting made available by this TEXTAREAFORMAT function
With perfectly rendered formatting made available by this CF_TEXTAREAFORMAT tag

You can simply leave the sample data below or enter any of your own choosing, to see how it would be rendered by code using each of the solutions above.
