Code snippet below should work...


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function Process(){
var frm = document.getElementById("form1");
var len = frm.length;
var textarea = document.getElementById("tarea");
var value = textarea.value.replace(/\n/gi,"<br/>");
document.getElementById("data").innerHTML = value;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body >

<form id="form1" action="" onsubmit="">
<input type="text" name="t1"/><br/>
<textarea id="tarea"></textarea>
<input type="button" value="process" onclick="Process()"/>
</form>
<div id="data" style="width:200px; height:200px;border:1px solid orange;"></div>

I dont think that's going to work for me since I coded the page in coldfusion, but I'm fiddling with it nonetheless. Thanks

Yes I just read my initial post and it's not worded very well, I apologize for that. What I meant was that the text boxt will not recognize if you hit enter. It will keep the text on the same line. It's a formating issue, where if you wanted to say have a 3 paragraph post that looked like this:

Hello, would you like to play a game? sentance 2. sentance 3 sentance 4

Hello, would you like to play a game? sentance 2. sentance 3 sentance 4

Hello, would you like to play a game? sentance 2. sentance 3 sentance 4


It would show up like this:

Hello, would you like to play a game? sentance 2. sentance 3 sentance 4Hello, would you like to play a game? sentance 2. sentance 3 sentance 4Hello, would you like to play a game? sentance 2. sentance 3 sentance 4

Unless you were to type in <br> after each paragraph. So I need the form to recognize that when a user hits enter that it's signifying a line break when it stores the post.

Hope that clears it up for you and sorry about the messiness :(
