I have a text area and when u go to edit page, I need the text to be
cleared so that when u go to the edit page it's an empty box.

<TR bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}">
<td><normalfont><B>Ip & Path:<br>The data will not be shown<br>until a
user replys to the thread
</B></normalfont></td>
<td><TEXTAREA NAME="lien" ROWS=4 COLS=60
WRAP="VIRTUAL">$lien</TEXTAREA></td></tr></td>
</TR>


the variable i need is the $lien

What do you mean by "edit page" ? Anyway here goes:

<textarea></textarea>
= empty textarea

<textarea onfocus="this.value = ''">text here</textarea>
= empty textarea when focus

<textarea onfocus="select()">text here</textarea>
= text selected when focus

Best regards

What?!?

Please be more specific - "auto clear", "variable load" - what technology
or programming language do you use?

BTW: I see that you use a danish site to post in this newsgroup - do you
by any chance speak/write danish?

Best regards

Hey,

Uhmmm one way to 'empty' a variable before inserting it is simply to do a :
<?
IF $value1 <> "x" THEN
$value2 = $lien
ELSE
$lien = ""
END IF
?>

(have to admit that my PHP is getting a bit rusty as i'm mostly working with
ASP)

before inserting it either check for another value (set when a person
edits the page in question)..you can use cookies for that but remember that
not all users have their cookies enabled.

$value1 should be set through a form validation function and $value2 should
then be used to fill in the value in the text field.
