Could you clarify? You mean you are pasting text into a <textarea></textarea> HTML form on an ASP page, or into some scripted or applet rich text editor in a web page, or into an asp editor (not in a browser)? If you want to do the first (in a <textarea></textarea>) then you can't. The textarea can not accept anything but plain text. You can add bullets in many (but not all) of them by typing:

<ul><!-- beginning of list -->
<li>First list item</li>
<li>Second list item</li>
</ul><!--end the list -->
 

whether a given editor can accept more than plain text when it is pasted, depends on its programming.

Let me know if this answers your question.

you can find rich textarea codes that will accept pasting from documents on the web.


Or you can have it replace the ¿ in it with <li> </li> with javascript or when its submitted.

if textarea is not good is rich textarea good for it.?
i think <li></li> can be used within sorce code. i want to paste like paste on this page.

can i know a code to rith text area to do this
thank you

As clint said, you can find the codes to accept pastes with bullets in some rich text editors from a simple web search. This is not done with ASP, (it should probably be either a java applet or javascript) so this is not a good forum in which to ask.

On the other hand, you could determine the character(s) used to denote a bulletted list when pasted to a textarea (an HTML textarea will only accept plain text, but the bullets might be converted to plain text, I've never tried.) and use ASP to convert that to <li></li>.

Does this answer your question?
