Note that the first element of an array is indexed as 0,
not 1. Otherwise, this seems to be generally what you want:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function textareaToArray(t){
return t.value.split(/[\n\r]+/);
}
function showArray(a){
var msg="";
for(var i=0;i<a.length;i++){
msg+=i+": "+a[i]+"\n";
}
alert(msg);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<textarea rows="10" cols="20" name="alpha"></textarea>
<br>
<input type="button"
value="show array"
onclick="showArray(textareaToArray(this.form.alpha ))">
</form>
</body>
</html>
