php - how to align text in textarea in html -
i have textarea
, writing php code prefill textarea
upon refresh. "prefill" part working fine.
my problem when start type in textarea
, text not left aligned. starting @ random point in textarea
box. want left aligned normal text box.
here code:
<textarea rows = 10 cols = 95 name = answer5> <?php echo stripslashes(htmlentities($_post['answer5'])); ?> </textarea>
try 2 things:
- put on 1 line
- trim echoed value
so this
<textarea rows = 10 cols = 95 name = answer5><?php echo trim(stripslashes(htmlentities($_post['answer5']))); ?></textarea>
this because textarea has special rules defy (as call it) normal markup rules. never understood it. data inside textarea used is, including leading , multiple spaces, etc. html comments inside textareas outputted.
