Re: text area question

This DOES correct the error. <textarea> is like <pre> element, white space and newlines are NOT ignored. Try it for yourself. Keith Higgs wrote:

Only if you're concerned about those few whitespace characters increasing your file size. Granted, there mey be PHP output related issues to a multi-line whitespace within an echo or print operation but, so far as the actual HTML is concerned, white space is white space and it should all be ignored by the browser's rendering engine. The suggested correction DOES do a lot for programming style by eliminating the superfluous space, and the possibility that you may introduce errors by inserting other code in that area. D.
