Adding Break Tags to Input Form

[Papajo]

**I'd like to know how to add break tags "<br>" inbetween entry's in
an input form, an example is if the word "yada yada" was entered you
would wind up with y<br>a<br>d<br>a<br> y<br>a<br>d<br>a

I would like to able to add the break tags with a button onClick. I have
no idea where to start, sorry. Any help is appreciated, Thanks Joe

You are likely interested in learning about how to manipulate documents
with DOM methods.

Start with the following:

http://www.w3.org/DOM/
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs...y:DOM:Articles

The short lesson is that a document's structure and style can be
"objectified". Paragraph(s), sentences, words, characters---printable and
otherwise---can be treated as objects and properties gotten or set and
methods used to alter the objects. The document is structured as a TREE
with branch points (NODES). The document is rendered as a tree in this way
by the document reader/parser when initially loaded/read, but through these
DOM methods in script, these nodes can be INSERTED/APPENDED or REMOVED to
modify the document structure dynamically. A very simplified explanation.

t1 = 'yada yada'

t2 = t1.replace(/( ?[^ ])/g,'$1<br>').replace(/<br>$/,'')

alert(t2)
