title: Textarea Adding Space To Beginning of Text?
body: <p>I'm having a strange problem in that I have php inserting text into a <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> and the <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> is adding one white space to the top of my text.</p>
  
  <p>I created an example page to display the problem... here it the code behind the page.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;textarea style="width:600px;height:100px;"&gt;&lt;?php get_film_info('main description'); ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;textarea id="mainDescription style="width:600px;height:100px;"&gt;Text just typed in&lt;/textarea&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;?php get_film_info('main description'); ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>You can see that without the <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> tag, the text does not include the indent.  My database also reflects no indent, as well as the php output outside of the <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code>...</p>
  
  <p>Any clue what could be going on?</p>

  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> You were all right, of course I didn't bother checking the source code of the output file.  Turns out when I was adding the data (via ajax) I was sending my data like <code>var data = '&amp;main_description= ' + mainDescription</code>. Notice the space between the "=" and the "+".</p>
  
  <p>Thank you all for your input, gotta just give the check mark to the guy on the top of the list.</p>
