I'm not so sure this is a browser issue, but rather of data in/out. Ensure
your form elements are the correct ones for the job. If it is a string of
characters like a phone number or name, of course use the type=text input
element because you want it all on one line anyways.
Otherwise, use a textarea element instead. Upon retrieval, use the built in
nl2br() function and it will look the same coming out as going in.
echo nl2br($row['a_paragraph']);
