Two, actually.

1) you need to capture the changed string value since the replace() method
doesn't change the original string:
 developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/js/client/jsref/string.htm#1194258

2) you need to replace all occurrences by using the "g" flag, otherwise you
are only catching the first newline.

<script language="javascript">
function replaceText()
  {
    var strString;
    strString = myform.mytextarea.value;
    strNewStr = strString.replace(/\n/g,'')
    alert(strNewStr);
    myform.mytextarea.value = strNewStr;
  }
</script>

Untested, but ought to work.
