The first one.

Use [url] when certain characters would trip up the code. Remember i=t because you'll need [url] to fix spaces in urls. But anywhere a &, $, !=, space, etc could be a problem: commonly, all search/append/replace/delete t=ags (&), showif/hideif (!), urls. Note that you don't have to waste your= time url'ing every damn value written to a db. If you control the value and= know it's clean, like a T or F or a number or word from a value list, no ne=ed. When a user inputs or you pull something like company names from a db, t=hat's when you need it.

[input] is used when quote marks and returns w=ill trip things up. Values within <input> tags and in java scripts. No=t just in <text area> but also in all other <input> tags, i.e., v=alue=3D"[input][whatever][/input]" -- same idea about js.

[convertchars] to make things right again when you display text on yo=ur page.

So which is the correct format w=hen using <textarea> for data entry?

<textarea name=3D"TEXT_=1" cols=3D"115" rows=3D"5">[input][TEXT_1][/input]</textarea>=
or
[input]<textarea name=3D"TEXT_1" cols=3D"115" rows=3D"5"&=gt;[TEXT_1]</textarea>[/input]
or
<textarea name=3D"TEXT_1"&n=bsp; cols=3D"115" rows=3D"5">[url][TEXT_1][/url]</textarea>
or[input]<textarea name=3D"TEXT_1" cols=3D"115" rows=3D"5">[url]=[TEXT_1][/url]</textarea>[/input]

And Tom says that the issue may be in my display template not on my input=20template. I'm using convertchars tag? Is that corre=ct?
[convertchars][lTEXT_1][/convertchars]

Thanksomuch,

Steve,

Hi - a=ll looks ok to me, though I would generally use [input] tags for text inputs=:

=; &l=t;input value=3D"[input][LINK_URL][/input]" type=3D"text" name=3D"LINK_URL"&=gt;

Maybe the issue is on your display te=mplate, not the form / data input template.
