Re: Pasting text into SQL-Ledger's invoice description field

[Dieter S. <dsi...@sq...>]

Hi Mike!

Instead of 
<input name="description_$i" value=$form->{"description_$i"} size=35>
 you use
<textarea name="description_$i" rows=2 cols=35 nowrap>
  $form->{"description_$i"}
</textarea>

You can use any html tags in the text to control how it will look like on
the invoice.

I would also adjust the rows to the number of lines the text will take up
in a 35 character column space and expand and shrink the field 
dynamically.

The description field is a text field and can hold about 8k of data.
