{textarea} smarty php

Question

Hi, further to a previous question, I have this code:

   <p class="required">
  {err for="msg"}
   <!--{{label {t _inquiry_msg}:}}-->
   {textarea onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Skriv her';" onfocus="if(this.value=='Skriv her') this.value='';"}

  {/err}
 </p>

And I want the output to be

<textarea onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Skriv her';" onfocus="if(this.value=='Skriv her') this.value='';">Write here!</textarea>

I tried {/textarea} but it didn't work in my template file.

Also, using html <> tags doesn't work, it breaks the page.

Is it possible to make this in smarty/php?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Just put:

<textarea onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Skriv her';" 
          onfocus="if(this.value=='Skriv her') this.value='';">Write here!</textarea>

Smarty will not replace anything.

Answer 2

You missed something here:

<!--{{label {t _inquiry_msg}:}}-->

I don't know what this code should do but the error is definitely here

<!--{{label} {t _inquiry_msg}:}}-->

then the HTML should work fine

<textarea onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Skriv her';" onfocus="if(this.value=='Skriv her') this.value='';">Write here!</textarea>

Answer 3

Please try the following steps, and keep commenting:-

1. Please try to remove the whole commented line, between the "{err for="msg"}" line & the "{textarea}" line.
2. Now remove the curly braces from the "textarea" line of code, and write plain HTML, just like "Luis Melgratti" posted in his answer.
3. If possible, try to upload some screenshot images of the error, which the page is showing.

Answer 4

You really ought to start with the W3C markup validator and than try to find your bug.

Answer 5

Smarty 3 or Smarty 2? Because in version 3 the tag filtering {...} has been way improved.

Answer 6

Write directly:

<textarea onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Skriv her';" 
          onfocus="if(this.value=='Skriv her') this.value='';">Write here!</textarea>

If it does not work, it has nothing to do with smarty.
