OK - so for
1> On, Category_update2.php, I changed line 208's 'input' from 'type="text" to "textarea' but I'm not sure this is the right place for that change as it did not enlarge the small Category_Description text box displayed
<input id="Category_Description" name="Category_Description" type="textarea" value="<?php echo((isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("categoryupdate","Category_Description"):"".$row_WADAcategory["Category_Description"]."")); ?>" class="formTextfield_Medium" tabindex="5" title="Please enter a value.">
2> On, Category_update2.php(updated file attached), I changed 85 and 86 as you suggested adding a missing '|' on 85, When you click 'Update' now, it completes the operation but just removes or blanks out the text that you entered in the Category_Description field from the DB so that a blank now appears in that field in the DB and products_results page.
What would you suggest? Thank you
