Hi everyone,

Is it possible to make tha contents of a text area hyperlinked so clicking one line will repopulate the text area with fresh contents based on link?

eg

Display all directories in the drive in the text area. clicking on a directory name should repopulate textbox with the clicked directory contents



Thanks in Advance.

Hi there,

As far as I am aware, tags within <textarea></textarea> will not markup whatever you are trying to, so, no, you can't make a list and hyperlink each line in a textarea.

Display all directories in the drive in the text area. clicking on a directory name should repopulate textbox with the clicked directory contents

BUT why don't you use combobox (w/ javascript or submit button) or simply text links...?

i figured that out the hard way
anyways, am using a listarea
what i havent been able to figure out is when a directory is clicked, how top repopulate the list area with the contents of the clicked directory.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Hi again,

Given the info, I can't be too specific, but I would probably use GET parameters - when the directory name is clicked (are you using <select>? Then set a redirection OnChange with JavaScript or something - or use submit button), pass the dir name via URL and based on that, readdir() that dir and display whatever's in there in the way you like.

I chose GET, but depending on what you're trying to do, you may want to take a different approach. Hope this gives you some idea.

Good night...
