action should be empty for self-submission, and it does not hurt to add encoding type, so your form should start with: <form action="" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form- urlencoded"> > <textarea style="width: 99%; align: center; height:100px;background: > snow;" id="wikibody1" name="data"name="wikibody1"> every element returned by a form should have a name (and only one name) identical to your database field, so your textarea should have name="body" I would recommend downloading the very handy HTML 4 reference available in different formats from http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/ > {{=form.custom.dspval.body}} this is fine but if you have {{dsp=form.custom.dspval}} at the top (as you do) this can shortened to {{=dsp.body}} the idea is to type less :) specially in long, complex forms > </textarea> > <input type="submit" value="Submit"/> > </form> > > just clears the form and does not save to db, sorry I am a little slow > but I am trying to learn this stuff (slowly), this is a hobby:) I just > want to save my nicedit textarea data to the db > and I wanted a larger text area than SQLFORM() default. I have not used nicedit so you must read up on it and see what is required to use it. As for saving the textarea to the DB that is done automatically in web2py during form.accepts > thanks > chris Hope this helps.
