Adding <br> automatically with "return" key ?

Hello,

I'm not a perl programmer but I can kind of hack my way through some
simple scripts. What I am trying to do is get it so a line break <br> is
automatically placed when I hit the return key in a text box in this
script:
http://mosaikum.org/sonst/pws.html

It will add the <br> automatically to the Add Story function, but not
the edit text function. I'm trying to get it to do it in the edit
function as well.

It looks like here's the bit of code that does it for the "Add Story"

if ($ueberschrift) {
$ueberschrift = "<br><b>".$uebe rschrift."</b>";
$ueberschrift .= "\n";
}

$ueberschrift .= "<br>\n";
if ($linebreaks eq "yes") {
$text =~ s/\n/<br>\n/g;
}

I've tried adding that to this:

sub Bearb {

if (($filename =~ m/[^\w\.\-_]/i) or (not($filename =~ m/\.txt$/)) )
{$filename=""; $showerror='Err or in Filename! Use only numbers, letters,
"_" and "-". <br> File MUST end with .txt'; &Auswahl; return;}

$title="Editing $filename";
open (WISHANDLE, "$filename" );
while ($wisline = <WISHANDLE>) {
$wisvar .= $wisline;
}

close (WISHANDLE);
print qq!

but, since I don't know what I'm doing, it, understandably, didn't work.
Any info (i.e. something I can copy and paste) on this would be much
appreciated.

Thanks

I have a large form that is generated dynamically in a jsp using xml / xslt. So, to break up this form into several "tabbed" sections, I break up the form using <div> tags. Each <div style="display:none"> can be displayed by setting the style attribute to "display:", or hidden with "display:none". This gives the illusion that the person filling out the form is switching from page to page...without the overhead of extra hits on the server,...

Hello Gurus: I have a validation script (below) that is somehow messed up. If the Name field is blank, I get the alert message, then the browser window goes to a blank document with the word "false" on it. What the ?!?!?! To test, I commented out the 'return false;' code in the second IF block, so now if there is a value in Name then I get the alert message for Email and the page stays put.

Now, I read the faq, and it suggests using sprintf. However, I want to all ways know where the integer finishes in the string.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
