Hi Chris,</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
I'm using an Informix product called App Page Builder</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
and I guess this is not strictly a javascript question.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
I would be interested to see a example of the full ASP replace statement because it may work with Informix as well.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
It seems strange to me that the form element can read the format but the page can't.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>

What do you mean by "written directly from the server"? What language <br>
are you using? With ASP you could use REPLACE on vbCRLF... Or is <br>
this stricly through JavaScript where a form is submitted and you are parsing <br>
the QueryString using JavaScript?</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>

Hi Everyone,</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
<br>
Does anyone know how to get HTML to format an embedded carriage return.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
<br>
eg. 1. something</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
2. something else</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
3. something different</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
<br>
ends up as <br>
<br>
1. something</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
2. something else</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
3. something different</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
<br>
if it is loaded from server data into a text area form element , but if it is just written to the page directly from the server it ends up as <br>
<br>
1. something 2. something else 3. something different</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
<br>
which is not as pretty</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
<br>
thanks</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
