    html in textarea

    Hi all

    I am adding signature in textarea which is stored as text in database
    now if i add html tags to it and later retrieve it in textarea it
    shows all tags of html but not their function. How i can get proper
    signature with html function.

      You should not use a JTextArea for that, but instead use a JEditorPane or
      JTextPane for this.

              Maybe you should be a little more precise and clear in stating your problem.
              Maybe you can post the source code of the JSP and post as well the signature
              you want to display ?

                  Re: html in textarea

                  An html textarea tag will not render html.. it will only show text, so your
                  html will not be rendered in the text area, it is not designed for that.

                  What you could do is a preview pane with a div tag and use javascript on the
                  client side to populate the div tag using the innerHTML property of a div.
                  This would then render the html. Or display the html in any other way... it
                  won't be rendered in a textarea, as far as I know.

                  hope this helps

                  cheers
                  Martin
