Re: textarea curiousity

I ran another little test. I bypassed the database and simply sent the text
as an argument and retrieved it with $_GET. I also echoed the first three
characters. Here are the results:

1 - The cursor is initially positioned at column 3.
2 - If I backspace to column one and put in text, then the first three
characters match the text I put in. The cursor is positioned initially at
column three.
3 - If I don't backspace, the first two characters become blanks
(non-printable) and the display starts at column 5

I use Dreamweaver as my development IDE.

When I create a textarea, put stuff in, save it to the database, and
recall it to the textarea later, it alway comes up with what looks like a
large tab spacing in the beginning. If I save it back, it comes back the
same way. If I delete the leading stuff and save it again, it still comes
back exactly the same.

This is only for the first paragraph so I suspect there are some leading
characters that I don't know about. How can I get it to display starting
at the left edge?
