[Javascript] Line break

[Peter Brunone]

Andrew,

    I'm not sure if this is precisely what you're getting at, but adding a
hard carriage return to a textarea can be accomplished like this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function addCR() {
 document.bob.myText.value = document.bob.myText.value + "\n";
 }
</SCRIPT>

<FORM NAME="bob">
<TEXTAREA NAME="myText"></TEXTAREA>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" onClick="addCR()" VALUE="return">
</FORM>

    Still don't know what exactly the <end> is supposed to signify; if I got
it wrong let me know...

Cheers,

Peter
