Textarea html text not visible

[mar1b0r0man]

Hi all,
I'm having some seriously weird problems with the textArea component. I've have a modified guestbook built with components, the guestbook is nested 2 movies deep, data is being sent back and forth through php & mysql, that's all fine. Problem is I can't see any text loaded into the textArea with html set to true. But when I set html to false it brings in all the text along with html tags. I've also tried changing the color of the text in the textArea with no luck using:

_global.style.setStyle("color", 0x00000);
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("color", 0x000000);

The strangest thing is even though no visible html text shows up in the textArea it's actually there, the scrollbar auto adjusts and I can actually select the textArea, copy and paste the non-visible entries into a plain text file??? I also tried changing the background color of the textArea but I still cannot see the text. Can someone please help? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, tia :)

hey,

were you able to solve this problem? I am currently facing the same problem with all the combo boxes and a list box on one of my components.

Thanks.

As far is i knwo only a few html tags are supported, maybe thats the problem.
These ar some supported tags:

Anchor tag (<a>)
Bold tag (<b>)
Break tag (<br>)
Font tag (<font>)
Image tag (<img>)
Italic tag (<i>)
List item tag (<li>)
Paragraph tag (<p>)
Span tag (<span>)
Underline tag (<u>)
