Hi, I'm new. My situation is, I have a text variable read from php/mySQL with a first line break, like this:

Code:
--Line break--
Line2: abcd
--Line break--
Line4: efgh


(I wrote --Line break-- for clearly imagining)
When i use smarty to put $myText into HTML textarea like this:
Code:

<textarea>{$myText}</textarea>

The first linebreak will not be shown correctly. It shows:

Code:
Line2: abcd
--Line break--
Line4: efgh


(I've tried to display by a div, it appears ok.)
Would you show me how to display the first line break correctly as I want?
Many thanks.

this is an html problem, not a smarty one. but, this should work:

Code:

<textarea>
{$myText}</textarea>

I've traced the code then found out that Smarty doesnt causes the problem. Maybe textarea tag does.
@douglassdavis: Thanks for replying. But that doesnt work Sad

without the smarty, if you make a textarea

Code:

<textarea>

first text

second text</textarea>


(notice position of line breaks)

You get a line break before "first text" right? Start with the HTML you want, then work backwards, adding smarty to achieve that result. Are you sure that line break is being output in the HTML when you use smarty?

@douglassdavis: I've tried to put $myText (by Smarty) to a <div> besides that textarea, then it display correctly as I want. So I said that textarea causes the problem. The situation here, is displaying $myText in a textarea with smarty. I know my problem.
Anw, thanks for replying.
