[Javascript] coding for the <enter> key

[Chris Tifer]

What's the extension on the page? That's going to determine what language 
is used on the server-side.  ASP's replace statement would be something like:

REPLACE(Variable, vbCRLF, "<br />")

So say if I was retrieving something from the database (text in your example) 
and I wanted to write it out with line-breaks, I would first have to have it defined 
as a variable.

DIM strText
strText = "Some text that might have a line break"

strText = REPLACE(strText, vbCRLF, "<br />")

Response.Write strText

I would assume though that your program would have something built in 
allowing you to insert line breaks.

  Hi Chris, 

  I'm using an Informix product called App Page Builder 
  and I guess this is not strictly a javascript question. 

  I would be interested to see a example of the full ASP replace statement because it may work with Informix as well. 

  It seems strange to me that the form element can read the format but the page can't.

  What do you mean by "written directly from the server"? What language 
  are you using? With ASP you could use REPLACE on vbCRLF...  Or is 
  this stricly through JavaScript where a form is submitted and you are parsing 
  the QueryString using JavaScript?

  Hi Everyone, 

  Does anyone know how to get HTML to format an embedded carriage return. 

  eg. 1. something 
        2. something else 
        3. something different 

  ends up as 

        1. something 
        2. something else 
        3. something different 

  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 

        1. something 2. something else  3. something different 

  which is not as pretty 

  thanks
