Textarea Issue
Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 1:12 pm
Hi,
I'm creating a text to bash script generator and I'm having trouble trying to enter BASH tags into a textarea.
Here's my code form the HTML page:
I want to be able to place the "echo" tag before each line in the texarea but haven't been able to find any way to do it. Any suggestions?
I'd be willing to resort to writing it in PHP if necessary especially if it would be easier.
Any help is appreciated...
