Question

php get function not inserting data into the textbox?

Answer 1

+3 A:

The contents of a <textarea> don't go into the "value" parameter, they go between <textarea> and </textarea>. Try this:

<textarea name="inputField" id="inputField" tabindex="1" rows="2" cols="40"onblur="DoBlur(this);" onfocus="DoFocus(this);" >
<?php echo $_GET['replyto'];?>
</textarea>

If you want to set focus when the page loads, you needs to just use the Javascript `focus()` function. So for instance, if your `<textarea>` was a member of `<form name="theForm">`, you would want to add the following to your `<body>` tag: `<body onload="document.theForm.inputArea.focus();">`
