Is there any way I can get the text out of a textarea into a mason variable? I want to save the textarea contents to a file on the server when user presses submit. I can access the DOM in javascript, can I get access to the textarea in mason?

Yes, it's just a request argument like any other form element.

If you had the HTML:

<form action="" method="post">
  <label>
    Enter Text:
    <textarea name="mytext" rows="5" cols="20">here</textarea>
  </label>
  <input type="submit" name="mysubmit" value="Do Stuff!" />
</form>

And the mason code:

my $textarea_contents = $m->request_args->{mytext};

you can then do anything you like with $textarea_contents, including
writing it to a file, if you desire.
