I am new to this and would really appreciate two bits of advice.
1. I have a textarea that my client types into using the hard return key for
paragraph breaks, but the output does not display the breaks and the text
appears as one long block. How do I get the text to appear correctly on the
website.
the 'hard return' is a non-prontable characers CR and LF, which are not
rendered in the browsers. you need to replace those with html-specific
line break - <br>.
one way to do it is
<cfset yourtext = replace(yourtext, "#chr(13)#", "<br>", "ALL")> - this
will replace all CR characters with <br>; since LF characters (chr(10))
are not rendered in the browser they will not be shown.
another way may be to treat your text as CRLF-delimited list and do
listchangedelims(yourtext, "<br>", "#chr(13)##chr(10)#")
2. How do I get the B | I | U | etc icons that appear directly above the text
box I am typing into here and put them on my own input page to format text in
my text area..
a) if you are on cf8 use RICHTEXT attribute of <cftextarea> tag
b) if not, use a 3rd party html editor, like FCKeditor (the one used by
cf8) or TinyMCE (my personal favourite)
