cursor location in textarea

Hi,

One of the field in my form is a textarea. When the textarea is got focus, the cursor is always in the middle of the first line. In addition, data is also shown starting from the middle part of the first line. In other words, there are spaces inserted before the first character. But there are no leading spaces in the table (I'm using MYSQL).


Did I make any mistake or have to add some formats to my code shown below:

<tr>
<td>Description:</td>
<td><textarea rows=3 cols=50
name=description>
<?php echo $edit?$dvd[0]['description']:''; ?>
</textarea>
</td>
</tr>

I had the same problem. You need to have the opening <textarea> and closing tags on the same line. That way, the cursor will come up at the left, top of your text box.

Good luck.
