Advice needed on form/text area

Hi all,
I'm a html beginner but looking to replicate the form (I
think that's what it's called) which appears on this page (includes
a html link for people to link to):
http://www.aboutbritain.com/LinkToUs.asp
I can see the html is as follows:
<form>
<textarea cols="60" rows="4" wrap="virtual">&lt;a
href="
http://www.aboutbritain.com/"
target="ab"&gt;AboutBritain.com - The premier online guide to
Great Britain&lt;/a&gt;</textarea>
</form>
Is this the best practice for creating this kind of a form? I
want to define the form's width and height, perhaps in pixels, so
any advice on that too would be very appreciated...
Thanks in advance!!!

I've been playing with the above and there seems to be a
permanent horizontal scroll bar which seems unnecessary. Any clues
on how to remove this and define height and width?
:s
Thanks!

  • Can't send texts and all my former texts are gone

    Without any warning, all my texts have been erased.  And I can't send any new ones.  I sent a text this morning without any problems.  Didn't touch the phone after that and when I tried to send another text, I couldn't.

    the solution that i did was use itunes to restore the phone. and did the "use as new phone" option,instead of restoring it from the back up....
    here's the whole story.
    what happened was,i have to phones,iphone 4 and 4s,i swapped the sim cards,backed up itunes for bothe in different comps and did a reset on both of em'... then suddenly the Iphone 4s wasnt able to txt or call out but can receive call and text,it just cant call out thats it....
    so i did a phone reset one last time,then i used itunes to do a factory reset and after that it worked,i didnt use the old back up,i used the use as new phone,though its a bit tiring to arrange all those downloaded apps again,its worth it coz im able to text or call again after that...
    by the way,before i did the itunes reset,i already did all the other troubleshooting steps for 2 days,none helped but this...

  • Help or advice needed on sending text messages 761...

    Hi I have a Nokia 7610, I have received a very long text message (approx 13 lines) When I tried to forward it to another mobile I got the following message..MAXIMUM MESSAGE LENGTH REACHED THIS MESSAGE WILL BE SENT IN 3 PARTS. I have received this message before and my text has only been about 4 lines long and I have had to delete some of the characters in order for it to be sent. Have I pressed something on my phone that has made this happen, and if so how do I change it back?

    I hope the explanation isn't too technical, but the number of lines is not a good measure, as the phones use different font (text) sizes and different width displays. The actual number of characters is what's significant in this case.
    In your case, the message may contain national characters not part of the default SMS alphabet (character set). (E.g., some Greek, Turkish, or other special symbols/characters may not be part of the default SMS alphabet.)
    When that happens, instead of using the 7-bit default alphabet, which allows storing of 160 characters in 140 bytes (1 byte = 8 bits) of storage space in a single SMS, the character set switches to using USCS-2 which is a 16-bit Unicode encoding.
    This then means that in 140 bytes one can store 70 unicode characters.
    With 71 Unicode characters in a message, it means the message exceeds the single-message limit and has to be sent as 2.
    A 7-bit character set allows 128 unique character positions only.
    An 8-bit character set allows 256 unique character positions, but consumes a little bit more storage space on a computer.
    A 16-bit character set allows 65536 unique character positions, and consumes twice as much space than an 8-bit character set.
    For the technically inclined, you can read more about character set, e.g., in this article: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html

  • Adobe Form :  Extended text area

    Hi,
    My client requested an interactive adobe form where they can enter text like a word file. Once the layout field comes to an end, the text area should be extended automatically for them to key in more text. is it possible. Please advice.
    Thanks

    Hi Ashwini,
    I have the similar kind of requirement, where I am displaying the Notification longtext fro SAP. I have made the text box editable, so that the user can input as many text lines as he wants. This is client's requirement.
    I have wrapped my textbox in a Flowed subform and also checked the Expand to fit property for the text box.
    But still my text box's height is not dynamic. The height of the box is fixed according to the no of lines coming from SAP. If I want to add more lines, the box is not increasing in height. Similarly, when I am deleting some of the text, the box size is not reducing.
    Do you have any idea, how can I achieve this requirement?
    Do I need to use script for this? Or I can achieve this without scripting?

  • Text wrap for a paragraph: How to define the width of a Text box /  active text area? I simply need a longish text to wrap within the frame!

    Hello, I've been searching for a good while in the forums now, but have found no solution or real mention of the problem – I hope some of you can help.
    I want to very simply layout a text between scenes, a slightly longer text that wraps within the frame margins. Here's an example of how I want it to look:
    Now, I couldn't for the life of me get the Custom Text to behave like that, as there are no parameters to set for the width of the text area. The Text Size, yes, along with the Tracking, Baseline and all that, but the width of the text box, no. The above was created by customizing one of the other Text Generator presets that happened to be left aligned.
    However, this preset has a fade in/fade out transition, which I do not want. There's no way to remove this transition as it seems integrated into the Text Generator (meaning they are not really presets, but separate kinds of Text objects? Very silly.)
    So I am asking you: Is there any way to get the Custom Text generator to behave like that? Just a text paragraph as above. Below you'll see all I can manage with the diffferent Custom Text parameters. Any kind of repositioning and resizing of the text just changes the position and size of the frame – but the actual text items are just cropped off where they extend out of that frame. Apparently the bounding box for the text is just some default length, and I can't find any way to adjust the width. See below my different attempts.
    The same text pasted into a Custom Text generator clearly extends outside the frame:
    Here Transform just moves – or resizes – the video frame that the Text Box exists inside:
    The Crop gives similar results, and of course Distort doesn't get me closer to what I need, either. There should be simply a Text Box Width parameter to set somewhere, but if it exists they have hidden it very well. How do you do it?
    Thanks for any help, this is a silly problem, but one of now many trivial problems that amount to me growing quite dissatisfied with FCPX. Hopefully I've just overlooked something.
    All the best,
    Thomas

    Thomas...same kind of crap here.
    I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
    Set to 72 pt.
    The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
    There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
    Using Transform will not sort it!

  • Need to show some values from Lookup in Text Area of Request Dataset

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where I need to display values(which are roles) coming from a lookup in text area. The reason behind is to show to end users list of roles. They should not be able to select these roles.They will just refer the list and enter desired role in a text field. I thought of using text area as the component to be used for showing these roles. However, I cannot use lookup property for widget="textarea" in the request dataset.
    Can we do this or is there any other component where I can show list of roles so that users can just refer the list.
    Thanks.

    Lookup Property ??
    TextArea is different type of widget. It doesn't come with lookup.
    Search developer's guide.
    – textarea: Specifies a large text field for entering multiple lines of text.
    Even if they select then don't use that field for further processing. You can use Attribute instead of AttributeReference.
    Workaround:
    Have one text are and use Prepopulate adapter to populate those values.

  • Submit Query(SQL) from a text area from a form

    Hi,
    I have a form that has a big text area, while users can type in the SQL statement/query.
    When user click on the button(say Submit). He/She should able to use the SQL query they input to query the tables.
    In order to implement this, should I create a new page that will pass the value of the text area (SQL statement) and display it in that new page?
    Or Is there a quick/easier way to do this?
    Thanks,
    Angela

    Angela,
    You could create a report region of type PL/SQL function returning SQL querry, and then return the value of your text area item, so you region source would be something like this:
    return :PX_MY_QUERY;
    When creating that report region, you'll have to use generic column names, since at design time, the query isn't known.

    Marc

  • Error when pasting 1K of text into a text area of tabular form

    This appears to be a bug to me, put please offer suggestions if you have them....
    Using apex with XE, I have created a table with two varchar2(4000) columns in them. The user will paste large blocks of text into one or both of them (e.g paste text copied from e-mail).
    I created a tabular form and set the two fileds to display as "text area". Insert and/or update works fine unless I paste more than about 1 to 1.5 kbytes of text into one of these fileds, in which case I get a page not found error with the following URL:
    http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/wwv_flow.accept
    After the error page displays, I can hit the back button and then remove just enough text to get it to under the 1 to 1.5 kbytes and then either insert or update works fine.
    One more bit of info. If I create a single row form then it works fine, it is only the multi-row tabular form that seems to have this issue.

    I don't think the character set is the problem. I used a string of numbers 0123456789 and just copied and pasted it repeatedly to build up the text. The database character set is WE8MSWIN1252.
    Regarding the apache log. I have to admit that I don't even know if I'm running apache. I am using a newly installed Oracle XE on a laptop in order to get some experience with application express. This app is the first one I've done. If someone will direct me to the log then I'll be glad to check it and post the relevent contents.
    I signed up for an apex workspace and intend to see if I can recreate the error from there so I can see if the problem is just in the free version of apex that comes with the Oracle Express Edition for windows database.

    Hi
    That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
    Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
    I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
    Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
    The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
    Hope that helps
    Paul
    PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
    after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
    You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

  • I need a text area that is displayed after

    I need a text area that is displayed after the user has entered value in parameters textboxes.
    Assume that I have to parameters area and when the program run, they are displayed and ready to get input.
    My problem is after that: When the input has been got, I want to display them in a text area like label in c#....
    Is it possible?
    Thanks for everyone who answers.
    Deniz.

    Hi,
    could you give us more info about this ?
    Does the text area has to appear in the selection screen, or in the next screen ( list processing ) ? Why would you like to show a label ?
    thanks,

  • Need Help Regarding Deletion(Text area)

    Hi everyone,
    Can anyone tell me how to use delete() method to delete a text written in the text area? I have it as a menu item, i have added an action listener for that and a shortcut key for the same on backspace. But i am not able to get it worked. Thanks for writing back.
    Cheers

    It's hard to impossible to see exactly what you are doing or what you are doing wrong based on what you tell us.
    I think that at this point you'll have to post some code. I recommend that you create and post the smallest program possible that is compilable, runnable, demonstrates your problem, and has no extraneous code not related to the problem, an [SSCCE.|http://sscce.org] Please see the link for details on how to create one of these because trust me, if your SSCCE is compliant with the specs, you'll likely get a very helpful answer from someone here quickly.

  • Is there a way to expand the text area of the login/lock screen for the warning message?

    I put our company's standard warning message in the Security & Privacy system preference ("Show a message when the screen is locked.") and it overflowed the allotted text area for the warning message text on the login screen and lock screens.  It seems that the area allows about 250 character messages and I need to provide about 500 characters.  Is there any way to expand the text area allotted for this purpose?
    Bob Reed

    To be a little more specific about the challenge I'm facing, I want to increase the allotted text space for the field I've outlined in the attached image.  Seems like there ought to be a NIB file that could be edited to accomplish this task:
    I would appreciate any advice on which file should be edited to expand the text field.
