Using Coldfusion to create a MySQL database entry creator and editor. On the
page is a textarea tag, and when I run the page there is a lot of empty lines
in the box. The entry is there, just below the bottom edge of the textarea box.

The code is:

<th colspan="3">
<!--- Gets the Full Event for the News & Events Page --->
<cftextarea name="lgEvent"
id="lgEvent"
cols="65"
rows="5"
label="lgEvent"
required="yes"
richtext="no"
maxlenght="1000"
>
<cfoutput>
#FullEvent#
</cfoutput>
</cftextarea>
</th>

How do I fix this. This is not the first time I am getting unneeded lines on
my web pages. Empty lines are also being inserted into the HTML code.

Remember, the code is [i]inside[/i] a textarea tag. So any new lines/spaces
you place in the code will also appear in the textarea. If this is
undesirable, do not use any spaces or new lines in between the value, closing
symbol and closing textarea tag.

<!--- maxlenght should be "maxlength" --->
<cftextarea name="lgEvent"
id="lgEvent"
cols="65"
rows="5"
label="lgEvent"
required="yes"
richtext="no"
[b]maxlenght[/b]="1000"
><cfoutput>#FullEvent#</cfoutput></cftextarea>

But why not just use the value attribute?
