<textarea> bug????

Simple vbscript,html page loading into access.
Input pg posting to Confirm pg, then sending to access.

when using;

<textarea name="name" tabindex="15">
</textarea>

as an input renders tab spaces automatically.

I took out <Div> tags, and tried nowrap, and tried
reformatting data before sending to dbase (CStr, Trim),
with no answer to alleviate this problem.

Any suggestions????

I'm confused.... are you trying to KEEP or REMOVE the tab spaces?

I don't understand. Your tabs are disappearing? When? When you later
present the data in HTML? That's because a tab in a textarea is not HTML...
and HTML doesn't recognize a tab. You will need to replace for presentation
in a web page, something along the lines of:

txt = rs("txt")
response.write replace(txt, chr(9), "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;")

The tabs are automatically in textarea when I try to enter
data into it. Also each time I display the textarea more
tabs are automatically entered into it. The dbase shows
square blocks - 2 before and 2 after the data, whether I
have the field as text or memo.

I am trying to rid the textarea of the tabs, or whatever
the squareblocks are.
