and I try to access that data in my JSP page using JavaScript

like this
var someValue=

The might be just linefeeds ("\r") in the text.....

Did you try this too:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

.replace(/\n|\r/,"#")

if this does not help do this to determince which characters are in the text:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
v="Hallo\r\n"

s=""

for (i=0; i<v.length; i++) { s = s + v.charCodeAt(i); }

The output of this example should be:
"72971081081111310"

Before I can Post first I would like to know If you have to store value of textarea fields in database and preserve all the line breaks that user has typed

and display back that data back in JSP page with JavaScript what will be your approach for this?

"JSP page with JavaScript "

JSP = JavaServer Pages

- Java is not equal to JavaScript
- I do not have (enough) knowledge about JSP
- I would display it so the it will look the same ;)
