Hi,
I've got a small test bed here to show this:

It seems that when you have linebreaks in a string (i.e. text from a
textfield), the way that IE handles it, and the way Firefox handles it
are completley different. One counts line breaks, and one doesn't.
This seems to be the case for both substr(), and substring().
Has anyone ever encountered this before? and if so, what was your solution?
We're starting to experiment with using regex's to do it, but this
seems like overkill to me.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Mark
