When using the web2py TEXTAREA html helper, I was caught out when displaying text that has an initial newline. This is incorrectly displayed when setting e.g. TEXTAREA(value="\n\nhello"), since the HTML 4 spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970917/struct/text.html) says "A line break occurring immediately following a start tag must be ignored, as must a line break occurring immediately before an end tag.". There is some discussion of this WRT html 5 in a RoR issue: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/393
Should web2py inject a newline into the html output between textarea tags in this case? It seems from the spec that it should also inject a trailing one, but I can't get this to work. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
